16oz Slubby Denim

[Oaktavia]

Nice to hear you were able to pick up a pair! That cut seems pretty awesome.

[JDelage]

Boom!

Should have noticed in the pics above too, but the patch isnt sewn around its perimiter like on the other slubbies, or as I understood it, on jeans with fabric less than 18oz? Pretty cool!

18 months of hard wear and quite a few washes (the last one of which was with washing up liquid because that is all I could put my hands to  :D), and I've managed to make some holes….

[Oaktavia]

Woah those look amazing @Giles !!! Makes me stoked that I have a pair, even though I'm only a couple of months in with mine. They look fantastic…would love to see more photos if you have a moment.

@AdamJ had them off me yesterday to photograph.  I am sure they will be appearing here soon….

@Oaktavia

The forum is doing something weird to these pictures, losing a lot of clarity.

Those are looking fantastic

[Oaktavia]

Thanks @AdamJ those look so sick with lots of character and unique fades due to the slubs. I really dig the mixture of vintage fades with some contrast. It's the best of both worlds and they type of fading I strive for with all of my denim. I'll start wearing mine this spring/summer and see where I can get them. My wife is wearing a pair of the 634s and they are starting to shed indigo and look great on her too!

That is the quintessential/epic Giles Fade.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I'm wondering if there has ever been any discussion on a CPO or other shirt in this denim. Has that ever been considered?

[Giles]

There has not, but not a bad idea at all…..

Texture overload!

You can really 'feel' this image! I need to stop looking at the slub threads or I'm going to end up with a pair lol

@Salted Racer

This help  ?

Now that's some finely faded slub goodness right there!
Just checked the site and the 777's are out of stock in my size right now–maybe that's a good thing.

I think I'm sold on these as my next pair though. @Giles I'm pretty sure I've seen you mention that these are very forgiving in the summer. Where I live I can get away with the 21-25oz almost year around. I think these would be the missing piece for me in the spring-summer. That'll be my justification anyway 

[Giles]

Yeah, they are probably our easiest denim to wear in the summer….

Between the fabric and the loose top my Prontos (888) almost feel like wearing linen pants. They are unworn and “cellared” but if I come around to the fit they’ll get hemmed, then heavy wear in a future summer.

This is my rotation plan for 2023:
Fade the 634 Anni as long as I can, wearing them through spring and early summer, then switch to the 666 Slubby cut.
Fade the 16oz in summer and autumn, rotating back to my hardly worn 888 19oz Lefty for the cooler seasons.

Now the conundrum is when the 16oz Slubbies will be replenished

[Salted Racer]

I appreciate your opinions on this all I'm truly convinced. @alexpupin I did that rotation, sir. I am newish to denim and was always turned off by slub; however, I've come to really love its character.
