It has been out of business as far as I know for 20 years. The best ideas I have for finding one of those capotes is to try www.crazycrow.com and find the blanket. You can also order a capote pattern from them as well. This company did exist and was a modern trading post not related to the old historical name. They produced reproduction beadwork, capotes, and many other related items for sale. Jim Hello, this company is no longer in Heron. It has been out of business as far as I know for 20 years.

In this old recreated Lewis and Clark fort was a Hudsons Bay Company wool blanket capote with the following name tag: THE GREAT NORTHWEST FUR & TRADING POST HERON MONTANA Is there now, or was there ever such a capote producing company or establishment located in Heron Montana. I presumed that with your field of interest and knowlege, you might know of this company if it existed in Heron. It may have just been a private home that sewed these capotes made from Hudson's Bay Company point blankets. I am pretty sure that it was or had no association with the original NorthWest Trading Company out of Montreal Canada in the early 1800's. It looks more like an establishment in the 20 century that produced Capotes (wool blanket coats)for sale to the general public. The Capote I looked at was brown wool, of thick quality, with one black stripe. It had a hood, and the hood, and shoulder-arm seam was fringed. Thank you.

Is there now, or was there ever such a capote producing company or establishment located in Heron Montana. I presumed that with your field of interest and knowlege, you might know of this company if it existed in Heron. It may have just been a private home that sewed these capotes made from Hudson’s Bay Company point blankets. I am pretty sure that it was or had no association with the original NorthWest Trading Company out of Montreal Canada in the early 1800′s. It looks more like an establishment in the 20 century that produced Capotes (wool blanket coats)for sale to the general public.
