As seen in Black Panther (force field not included). This authentic Basotho blanket (the traditional garment of the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho) is incredibly warm and bears the images of the spiral aloe, Lesotho's national plant, and the Lesotho Royal Insignia of Shield, spear and knobkerrie. It also includes a giant safety pin for wearing (as pictured below)

Bidding starts at $80 shipping included.
This is the blanket on offer.



This is how one wears it

In case it adds value let me inform you all that some Basotho blankets, though not this one, are affiliated with criminal gangs of accordion musicians. The music, called famo, is accordion based but has lyrics that are often akin to dis tracks. Of the two biggest gangs one wears a yellow blanket and the other grey. They originate in the mines of South Africa and also are tied to political parties.

The point being, while this blanket is not gang linked, all you need is this and an accordion and you are well on your way to a life of organized crime.
