@Fadez oh my that is gnarly man hope you are getting better soon! Good that you found it early!

[Giles]

Yeah, shit @Fadez .  Get back to good health as soon as you can….

[Fadez]

Thank you everyone for the well wishes!! I’ve definitely felt a little guilty not being able to post. But I know whenever I get back on the trail it’ll be worth it!! Going for those waterfall fades!

[Oaktavia]

Dude you are not guilty for falling victim to a nasty disease. The fades(z) will come when the time is right. Be well!

[mclaincausey]

Don't feel guilty man holy shit Lyme is no joke. Glad you're OK @Fadez

[Fadez]

Dang, Fadez, that's terrifying!  <insert "damn="" nature,="" you="" scary"="" meme="" here="">.  This is why I stay indoors!

Glad to hear you're on the mend.</insert>

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.

Thank you @Fadez .

@Matt ?

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.

You’re welcome [mention]Giles [/mention]  You give us such great opportunities and insights into the company and denim production. I don’t want to hold you back. It’s been a true honor to sample them. I feel like another member deserves it as well while I heal up

[Matt]

@Fadez @matt.  Let me know in PM how to proceed.  @Fadez ill certainly reimburse you the shipping if you want to send them along.  Just give me your PayPal info.

[mention]Matt [/mention] only one condition - you’ve got to visit Tent Rocks and take some photos!! I miss that place so much. Sitting at the top is my happy place.

[Giles]

Great result….

[Fadez]

A torch-passing worthy of the Olympics 

[Matt]

@Fadez on my way into the barbershop.  I’ll coordinate with you soon.  What an unexpectedly fantastic start to the day.  We’ll do you guys proud.

[Fadez]

You got that right [mention]Paul9221 [/mention] ! I couldn’t be happier passing them to Matt. The Airstream Adventure was so much fun to follow and catch up while social distancing and quarantining. Now that he’s in ABQ, I know there is plenty of outdoor adventures to be had and they’ll definitely get their wear now that the summer heat is off. Also the weight for that denim is perfect for the climate. I’m again so grateful for having these for my short time and love that IH is just so involved with their customer base. This is turning a tough situation into a happy one for me
