    Going by the pics in the book and Surpmil’s example, they are very crudely stitched ( by hand) to me that’s the sign of something disposable…..unlike the nicer examples that BP has.

    The originals I've seen look to be grey wool, like a doublt thickness or grey blanket. Very coarse overhand stitching too.
