16oz Slubby Denim

Hey [mention]Alex [/mention] and everyone. I was actually thinking about this thread and getting back into the slubbies soon. In mid August I got bit by a deer tick and got Lyme disease. Luckily 3 weeks of antibiotics was able to treat that from becoming a really rough time. The unfortunate part of it is that I had a nasty infection about the size of an egg on my leg that resulted in an open wound. It stinks because it’s right on my calf and the 777 cut is so slim that I can’t really wear them without re-opening the wound back up. Generally these deals take about 2-3 months to heal up. I’ve got my follow up with the doc on Tuesday morning of next week. Once I get the go ahead to start hiking again, I’ll be back in full effect. Right now the wound is about the size of smushed dime and about 1/3 of the original size. I’m so grateful for western medicine because I’ve had 2 nasty infections this year. I had a cyst removed from my back January and now the tick bite. I’m so looking forward to getting back out there and thrashing the slubs. I should be able to hit 100 hikes by the time they release!

Hey everyone. Just got back from the doctors this morning. While my wound is healing and almost there, the doctors don’t want me to put any additional stress on it for another month at least. I’m happy because it’s healing and things are looking good. I’m sad because another month of no hiking is really eating away at me. At this point, I feel like I need to pass the torch and let the community wear my sample pair. I’d be happy to send these to a new home that can properly thrash them. @Giles and @Alex any thoughts on this? I know you want to showcase how the slubby will evolve before December and I don’t want to hold you up. I remember @Matt said they were his size. I’m open to anything because I feel that these jeans need they love of wear before the official release.

I’m really sorry you’re not 100% but I’m glad you’re in the mend. I’d be happy to take up the torch if you need an assist. Just let me know. Cooling off here so it’s the best time of year to hike. Fewer rattlesnakes and less searing heat. The desert will have its way with them I’m sure.
