i have a very nice wool blanket that i got from a friend. i think it's size 62" and is 100% wool. i use it as a cooler when he's sweaty on a cold night. it fits him perfectly, i can look up the brand if you like. but it seems pretty generic to me, crossover straps under the belly and between the hind legs, and two buckles and velcro in the front. i don't clip though (though right now i ALMOST would, since stjarni has a major winter coat coming on and it's still hot here, but it won't be before very long....) --vicka
