A striking silhouette of a Native American Chief is the central image of this unique, circa 1920s design. The original, vintage blanket was discovered and sent to Pendleton by Indian trade blanket collector and author Barry Friedman. The brand were delighted to reproduce this fascinating blanket. The feathered headdress was a ceremonial war bonnet worn only by chiefs and warriors. The war bonnet was common among Plains Indian men–Sioux, Crow, Blackfeet, Cheyenne and Cree–but was seldom worn on the battlefield. Reserved for formal occasions, the golden eagle-feather war bonnet was a spiritual symbol of a man's courage and honor. It was a sign of respect that could be bestowed only by the tribe's elders. The bonnet was also believed to protect the wearer. You can check out more pics shown below. The blanket is available now at Fat Buddha Store and is made from Napped, felt binding. 82% pure virgin wool/18% cotton and made in the USA. You can pop by the stor...

Passing away on Long Island at age 71, Reed had recently had underwent a liver transplant and had been dealing a mix of other health problems, and was taken back to hospital during the month of July. A singer songwriter known for his brutally honest take to rock and roll lyricism, Lou Reed had the perfect balance of hard noise and the beauty of a simple, well rounded track. The Velvet Underground achieved a significant rise in fame during the 60's, but their influence on music was received much later becoming far more widely recognised. Reed was not one to adapt to the elements of European avant-garde music, providing the public with his own hard hitting styles. Famously quoted Brian Eno was able to sum up the Velvet Underground with: "The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a ...
