The Thuggie

The Story The Thuggie was born in Whistler, BC in 2009. Noticing more and more people clad in hilariously oversized t-shirts, hoodies, snowboard jackets etc but without any apparent sense of humour, Bryan Pudney and three of his chums decided to make their own version of the overly long garment to mock these irony-lacking souls. One fine spring day they hit the slopes in 4 long, large, brightly hued, yet unnamed hoodies. They expected a reaction but the reaction they got was one of appreciation, applause and even envy. No one got the joke, but Bryan got the point. Fast forward to July when Bryan and 3 fine individuals wore the original 4 Thuggies to the 1st annual Vancouver Leisure Society Lawn Bowling Tournament. While everyone else was decked out in tight fitting tennis whites, Bryan and co smugly bowled in comfort, taking the league by storm. Kim Bowie was one of those envious souls however never one to sit idly by, she approached Bryan, awestruck, and begin mercilessly harassing him about the vision she had. Not long afterwards while coming home from work, it hit her. “We shall call it, the Thuggie!” Bryan was overjoyed and shared the news with his good friend, Brad. Business Brad shared the vision and there it was: the perfect trifecta. And that is how the Thuggie was born. The Thuggie is the most comfortable garment you will ever put on. It is pants optional, roomy, always flattering, always fits and never wrong for any occasion. Basically it is a lifestyle statement. It is Canadian borne and made and its wearers are among the most likeable people in all of the Western world.* Unlike other semi ironic leisure apparel, the Thuggie equips the wearer with a sense of security, satisfaction, extreme comfort and a gentle sense of smugness. You are guaranteed to feel smug in this Thug.
