Imagine your Crepes Suzette served by ballerina, or your Frogs Legs appetizer garnished with top hat and monocle. That is how Oscar Berger (1901-1997) would have served you, if he had been a restauranteur and not an artist! Born in the former Czechoslovakia, Berger won a scholarship to the Berlin Art School in 1920 and went on to work as a staff artist at Berlin’s largest daily newspaper. Forced to flee the country after his political cartoons upset Hitler, he lived in Prague, Budapest, Paris, and London before settling in the United States. He became known as a kind of roving visual journalist, and was so esteemed that numerous celebrities (Roosevelt, Churchill, Garbo, Chaplin, Dietrich, and King Victor Emmanuel, among others) sought him out to draw their caricatures. This 1st edition (1948) collection of cartoon culinary puns showcases Berger’s distinctively theatrical, fluid style and is a testament to the survival of his playful spirit after years of displacement and immigration.

I love this because it folds up easily & does not take up much space but keeps you warm and secure.
Color: Southern Blues, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
Heavy and BIG. The color is great. Its not very thick but it does have some heft to it. I love this because it folds up easily and does not take up much space but keeps you warm and secure. Its got a waffle type contour texture. It says its fleece but to me it did not feel like fleece. However, I have never heard of berkshire fleece before-- I would not guess this is fleece at all. Its not fuzzy in the least. It is breathable and the color is muted and perfect. For a king sized blanket this is surprisingly portable yet substantial enough to keep the entire bed covered and warm!

Thin, summer weight throw, quality could be better
Color: Southern Blues, Size: Throw (50 in x 60 in), Color: Southern Blues, Size: Throw (50 in x 60 in)
This is a very light weight blanket and the "fleece" is no where to be seen. The blanket looks like cotton but has a very synthetic feel to it. Three layers implies some weight but it is thin. The construction is sloppy, see images, where the stitching looks slap dash to the point where it cannot be reversed. I liked the color, the blue is a little on the aqua side but it is a very nice calming hue. The stitching is quilt like and nicely done. I noticed other reviews felt like it was a medium weight but the only time I would use this would be to use as a cover if the AC went out. To me, the blanket is decorative and not particularly useful.

Average quality lightweight throw, not sold on the color
Color: Southern Blues, Size: Throw (50 in x 60 in), Color: Southern Blues, Size: Throw (50 in x 60 in)
This blanket is fairly soft and lightweight, and better suited for the summer months. I don't think the texture and "Southern Blues" color looks as nice in person as in the photos; less cozy and more like a spare blanket you might find in a hotel closet. Interestingly the care tag says that the outer faces are cotton, but the blanket feels polyester and the content tag indicates the same. The stitching and durability feel ok, and it will probably hold up for the occasional machine washing and low heat drying. Overall it's a fine warm season throw but not particularly notable. I would probably recommend one of the darker colors.

So easy to wash!
Color: Southern Blues, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in), Color: Southern Blues, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in)
Two things I love about this coverlet: 1. It's so much easier to wash than a duvet! Or even a duvet cover or a regular blanket, for that matter. The queen-size coverlet fit easily in my washer, and I could have put in another if I had had one. It stayed loose and balanced in the machine - the washer didn't have to readjust its balance during the spin cycles. In the dryer, it didn't wad up into a ball that had to be shaken out every few minutes. It came out feeling softer and looking good, with no wrinkles. 2. It's thinner than a duvet and suitable for warm weather, yet those three stitched layers give it substance and weight that I find more comfortable than sleeping under a pile of fluff or a bed sheet. The soft pastel green color with cream lining (not really reversible due to the hem) is fresh and reminiscent of the 1950s coverlets that my grandmother made. Crocheting was one of her passions, and she'd create huge lacy doilies that lay across the foot of the coverlet. Very pretty look.

Great summer blanket.
Color: Black, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in)
I purchased this Berkshire 3-layer fleece blanket, and it has quickly become my go-to for my queen size bed. It fits perfectly with plenty of overhang, making it look great as a top layer or a middle layer.What I love most is the breathability. While the material is technically fleece, the 3-layer design provides a nice "cotton-like" feel that doesn't feel heavy or stifling. I tend to sleep hot, and this blanket does a fantastic job of keeping me cool and comfortable through the night while still providing just enough cozy warmth.At this price point, the value is good. It feels much higher quality than other thermal blankets I’ve tried, and it holds up well in the wash without pilling or losing its softness. If you're looking for a versatile, lightweight blanket that works year-round, this is a solid choice. Highly recommended!
