A horse blanket for human men

Not sure if I’m down with wearing home furnishings. There’s a lot of it about right now. NYC street-style is full of bros marching about, basically wearing a throw.

This is a ‘horse blanket’, but for human men. Dunno about you, but I think the idea’s very unstable.

One might assume we’re looking at Clint Eastwood Research, but apparently not. According to this label…

It’s Horse Blanket Research. Or is it just a horse blanket, by Research? Does anyone reading this care? Is anyone actually still reading about this fucking man’s horse blanket?
