DC Red Tapestry Blanket
The DC flag has been flying since 1938. Three stars and two bars, borrowed from the coat of arms of a man named Washington — same as the city. Most people walk past it every day without knowing that. We didn't.
The Unofficial DC logo took those three stars, turned those two bars into the letters D and C, and wrapped the whole thing in love. That's not a metaphor. Look at it. The heart holds the letters together. The stars sit above it the way they always have. It's the flag, reimagined as something you'd actually want to carry with you.
DC Red puts that logo on a full field of red — bold, no apology, no fine print. UNOFFICIAL DC spelled out underneath because some things are worth saying out loud.
This blanket isn't printed. A Jacquard loom built this image into the fabric one thread at a time — cotton yarn lifted and lowered, row after row, until the logo emerged from inside the cloth itself. That means it never fades, never peels, never cracks. It's reversible — flip it over and you get the same design in inverted colors. Two looks, one blanket. And it gets softer every single wash, not worse.
54" × 72". 100% cotton. Made in the USA. Throw it on the couch, hang it on the wall, take it to the park. This is the city you love, woven into something you can hold.
About This Blanket
This is a Jacquard woven tapestry blanket, not a printed blanket. Jacquard weaving is a textile technique originating in early 1800s France where a specialized loom interlaces colored cotton threads one row at a time to build the image directly into the fabric. The design is permanent — it will never fade, peel, or crack because the color is the thread itself, not ink applied to a surface. The Unofficial DC logo featured on this blanket is derived from the Washington DC flag, which itself comes from George Washington's family coat of arms. The three stars from the original flag are retained, the two bars are transformed into the letters D and C, and the elements are wrapped in a heart representing love for the city.
Each blanket is fully reversible, displaying the same design in inverted colors on the back. Made from 100% cotton at a US textile mill with over 50 years of operation. Pre-washed at the mill and gets softer with every wash. Machine washable. Finished with decorative fringe created from the primary thread colors.
