Nice find Ed. That’s pretty cool if they’re still in business. It looks very similar to other examples posted on this thread. That must’ve been the prevailing style of the time. What decade do you think this is from?

Reviving this older thread.  I picked up this in the strangest of circumstances. Story is it came from the daughter of the Kemper family a wealthy banking family out of the Kansas City area. The person who passed the blanket on to me, got it from his grandfather who spent two decades as a chauffeur for the family. I think he went through several Packards driving for various members over two generations of the Kemper  family.

Wow, that is great looking! Don't see the letter "Z" too often in old monograms (though, for obvious reasons, I wish they were more available!).

I think the color would be a nice complement hanging here.

100 percent 1930-1933, without any doubt..........they bought the robe and stuck their label on it...........it's Laidlaw.
