What color was the original Slanket and has the Smithsonian Institution yet approached you about acquiring it?
As advertised, I am proud to present an interview with Gary Clegg, the cozy visionary who brought us the original Slanket. I sent him nine questions so that he’d have the option of skipping a couple, but he answered them all quite delightfully. He didn’t even skip the dreaded Snuggie query, which I would have totally glossed if I were him. This interview follows last week’s post in which a couple of friends (who shall remain unnamed to protect their privacy) (and dignity) were kind enough to review the Slanket and the Snuggie, and I’m pleased to report that the Slanket is handily the superior product. To my surprise, I seem to be giving sleeved blankets a great deal of coverage lately. I think this interview is a fine conclusion to the series, and I look forward to moving on.
