Herbert was a name found among the Norman landed classes in Ireland, and the Fitz-Herbert families that appear in Irish history were part of this settled colonial-become-indigenous community. This Irish woven blanket honours the Fitz-Herbert name, featuring the family crest woven into the Irish National Tartan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBackground\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Herberts were a family of note in Kerry and Munster more broadly — the name associated with landownership and the Anglo-Norman presence in the south-west of Ireland, a region where Norman and Gaelic cultures met and merged over centuries. The Fitz-Herbert variant reflects the Norman patronymic tradition layered onto this Irish reality: families formed from the children of men named Herbert, who then became part of the Irish world they found themselves in, speaking the language, taking the customs, and in time becoming indistinguishable from the Gaelic families around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Fitz-Herbert crest and Irish National Tartan formed within the textile structure during weaving rather than printed onto the surface. Every thread of the pattern is part of the cloth itself, giving the piece consistent depth and detail across both sides. The fringed edges are a natural result of the weave structure, finishing the blanket in the traditional manner of a genuinely woven piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: premium cotton yarn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: woven, not printed — pattern integral to the textile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: 52″ × 37″, 60″ × 50″, 80″ × 60″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: traditional fringed edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: machine wash cold, tumble dry low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether displayed across a sofa in a family room, folded over a reading chair, or hung as a textile piece in a hallway or study — this blanket is made for homes where Irish heritage is a source of genuine pride.
