Gotta Get Me a Pendleton!

Hello my friends,

Years ago the name "Pendleton" was very popular with my parents generation.

I doubt there were many men who didn't own at least one Pendleton shirt.

 

One thing for sure is that if you got a gift that was marked Pendleton, you knew that it was good quality and that the person who bought it had shelled out big bucks.

 

I hadn't thought about Pendleton in years until while on a road trip to Oregon we drove through the town.

I have been wanting a plaid throw in Fall colors so I was so excited and thought surely I could get one there.

Nope, turns out that if you want a Pendleton you either have to visit the outlet near Portland or go to the factory in WA.

We decided to do both.

I didn't take pictures at the outlet and when we arrived at the factory we found that the tour was closed for the week.
Still,
we were not disappointed.  Lots of eye candy to see in the Pendleton Mill Store!
(all photos were taken with my phone)

 

There was plenty of clothing, but what caught my eye were the blankets and the antiques.

 

 

Gorgeous throws,

 

 

backpacks, and scarves.

 

Even a little something for the babes.

 

 

 

Antiques thrown in the displays for extra fun!

 

 

I fell head over heels in love with this supply cart, which they actually still used.

Wouldn't it be sweet filled with blankets?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was surprised to see that you could even buy yardage.

 

 

It was fun to see one of their original shirt patterns on display.

 

This is where the factory workers (not sure if it's still used) punch their time cards.

 

 

Now it's time for me to clock out.  :)

 

But as you can see, we did not leave empty handed. Hubby is posing with his new buffalo check shirt (it's in the bag) and yup, I got that Fall throw.

 

I'll be showing how I used it in a post later this week.

 

 

 I hope you enjoyed the tour!

hugs,
Jann
