Troops on sides from the sleeved blanket battleground are quick to protect their sides. For instance, a friend happily reps Team Slanket because of its utilitarian feet pocket and much softer pile fabric, whereas others like the bigger back portion of the Snuggie that causes it to be more...blankety. Most lately, another contender has walked in to the lounge-off wishing to drag within the last demographic unswathed through the trend: it's known as the Thuggie.
Its cutesy title may be the only similarity between your Thuggie and it is rivals it's essentially just an additional-lengthy fleece hoodie that stretches lower towards the wearer's knees for max coverage.
Gleam kangaroo pocket in the centre for the handheld remote control and/or snacks, but when you believe the concept based on stylish-hop's legendary XXL plain whitened T-shirt trend, you would be wrong the Thuggie's genesis story is really set about the ski slopes of Canada.
Creator Bryan Pudney and three of his buddies went skiing in Whistler, B.C., in 2009 and hand crafted the very first version from the Thuggie like a joke to mock the bulky fashion of other snow-goers. But like several things you'll find on the web, the irony faded also it grew to become popular right after.
The Thuggie store offers a variety of colors for $75, or "design" your personal custom Thuggie for a bit more. You cannot find Thuggies in shops yet, however i predict it'll hit Duane Reade and Walgreens shelves over time for that winter holidays.
Alternatively, if you are not purchasing in to the whole Thuggie factor, Why Don't You Apparel Corporation. offers Thugglets for babies and Chuggies for the favorite beverage.
