In this first episode, the Guru of the Seas , Tom Drake, sits down with Thomas Danaher, president of Sheets.com. Tom listens as Thomas shares his remarkable life story—from sleeping on flannel sheets in Scotland during his college years, to launching a flannel-sheet business out of his dorm room, and ultimately supplying major retailers in the United States.

Along the way, Thomas breaks down what truly matters when buying sheets, including debunking thread-count myths and explaining why fabric weight—especially in flannel—is so important. This is a fascinating conversation with someone who has devoted his life to producing some of the finest sheets available.
