Administrative Results Blanket Shirt

The collaboration between Administrative Results and Varusteleka bears fruit again – we put a nice logo embroidery on our already great Särmä Blanket Shirt, and the outcome is quite executive: The Administrative Results Blanket Shirt!

The Blanket Shirt is a primitive low-tech super garment where the natural qualities of wool combined with simple and clever details make for a very functional outdoors jacket. This will quite surely turn some heads in urban areas, too!

The idea of the Blanket Shirt stems from ancient outdoor garments. Wool jackets with this basic form have been used from around the middle ages. In more recent times, these have gained popularity among traditionalists.

What happens in Vegas, blossoms later

Varusteleka personnel first got acquainted with this character some years ago in Las Vegas while on a SHOT Show trip, when they sat down to the same table with Garand Thumb, Blue Jean Operator, and Admin himself. It was soon clear that this was the start of a beautiful friendship. Administrative Results first came to Finland in 2022 and blasted through our Finnish Brutality 2-gun action match – he came right back for the 2023 match. See the video! (If it doesn't play, log in on YouTube to watch the video.)

During his first stay in Finland, Admin also developed a fondness for our Blanket Shirt, which you might have seen appearing here and there in his internet content. Long story short: We decided it was time to give the guy his own version with a nice Administrative Results logo on the front!

Blanket Shirt features

The Blanket Shirt is a simple and functional garment that doesn't throw tried and true features away. These were good back in the day and not the least bit worse in the days to come. We didn't reinvent the wheel, just made our variation of it with practical features.

The chest pocket is large and positioned a bit higher up on the chest so as not to interfere with backpack hip belts or equipment belts worn over the shirt. Great for storage or warming your cold fingers. Inside the pocket is a smaller pocket, sewn onto the body side of the shirt. This little flat pocket is intended to store any important valuables such as mobile phones safely. Access slits on the sides to make rummaging through your trouser pockets or accessing equipment on your trouser belt easier.

The hood offers protection from wind and rain and keeps your head warm, an obvious necessity if there ever was one. The hem is way longer on the back, which will keep the crack of your arse covered in any squatting position, and it also offers protection from wet or cold surfaces when sitting. Unbemazing!

Raglan sleeves, these are an elegant solution! No seams anywhere on top of the shoulders, so there's no chafing when carrying backpacks or machine guns. Mobility of the arms is better as well.

Some history with materials and care

We used to make these for a long time under the Jämä brand from army surplus blankets and other materials we happened to find. The availability of materials couldn't keep up with the demand, so these are now made from purpose-sourced fabrics as the Särmä Blanket Shirt – Särmä and Administrative Results Blanket Shirts only differ by the embroidery part.

The wool fabric is the same as we use on our Woolshell garments: 70% recycled wool, 30% recycled polyamide, weight at least 400 g/m², and the fabrics are made in Italy. The Blanket Shirts and Särmä Luhkas are sewed in Finland by Kolmituote, Salon Seudun Työkeskus Oy.

Made in Finland!

Airing out will do the garment good and this is basically the regular "cleaning" you'll do. What comes to more thorough cleaning, as the first option it's best to try just brushing off any stains or spot clean with water and mild soap. If you manage to get this dirty as hell and absolutely need to use a washing machine, try a gentle wool cycle at 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit). Use wool care products while you're at it, it'll make the garment restore its natural woolly goody features. Hang dry, stretch the garment out a bit while it's drying.

Size info

These come in three sizes with a loose fit. Each size has a recommended user height and chest circumference. The main thing to consider is the chest circumference, as a tight blanket shirt will be difficult to don. Understand that the normal fit is not intended as a tight-fitting parade dress – however, if you insist on having a tighter fit, choose a smaller size as long as you are at least a bit smaller than the actual garment dimensions. You can solve any sizing problem just by getting both loose and tighter fitting Blanket Shirts for different occasions! The length in these is generous, and if the sleeves overshoot your hands, just fold them for a tailored fit.

Above are more detailed charts of the garment measurements as follows: chest width (pit to pit), front length from the collar to the hem, center back length from the bottom of the hood to the hem, sleeve top length from the base of the hood to the cuff, and sleeve length from the armpit to the cuff. The tolerance is about 1 cm (0.4") either way.
