The Plains tribes did not make blankets. Before white traders arrived, they used tanned buffalo hides with the fur left on for both winter robes and bedding, but as the buffalo gradually diminished in numbers they relied more and more on traders and agency allocations of warm wool blankets.
Many of these blankets were of poor quality English-made stroud cloth, or in the northern Plains they were English-made Hudson's Bay "point" blankets, which are still sold today (but Canadian manufactured).
The USA was extremely slow in mass-producing blankets as trade items for the native tribes; one company, J Capps and Sons, was only in full production after being promoted by Buffalo Bill Cody at the very end of the 19th century and early 20th century. Other USA manufacturers were Buell and Co, the Racine Woollen Mills, Oregon City Wool Mills and the Pendleton Mills (which began producing trade blankets in about 1901).
