No, not a joke.
 As far as getting in contact with Teresa, have you called or tried email? They are on the road a bunch during the summer. Let me know what's going on, I can help.

The pants? Still not perfected. And Teresa won't offer them for sale until they are. We didn't jump the gun....we thought the timeline was going to be Compton. We thought for sure they would be available then. But Asbell wool isn't General Motors. There isn't a staff of designers and testers thinking about new products. It's Teresa. And Fred. And guys like me who Teresa tap's for an opinion here and there.

I'm sorry the pants aren't ready. I wish they were.....for my own personal use this coming fall, and for the sales bump that Teresa would receive from them. But lets applaud Teresa and Fred Asbell for NOT releasing a product that they aren't completely finished with. So many vendors (in all industries) lack that integrity today. I think it's awesome.

It is certainly best to not release a product until it is of the standard you wish it to be after being thoroughly tested.

That said, if you need more legs for testing I'm there for ya.  

[Muttly]

36x36, and I do my own stunts!! I,'ll sign a waiver,if you need more testers, and it,s on the hazardous side!!..  

[Burly]

Heck yea, I would be on board for that one.

I've tried calling a few times over the last few months. I've been busy myself so I haven't been too diligent. I'm just trying to touch base on an order I placed a few months ago.

No need to appologize about the pants. I'm just glad to hear they're in the works. We've waited this long, we can wait a year to work out the pattern.

Hey Roger, just curious how the new pants are coming along?  Do you have any pictures to share yet?  The suspense is killing me!!!     But I'm waiting patiently.

So what's the deal on the wool pants? Are they ever going to be available?

[centaur]

I talked to Teresa a couple of months ago, and she is still working to make these pants a reality. It will happen when she feels that she is getting them right. I'm confident that when they are ready to go, they will be as good as anything else that the Asbells have for trad hunters.

[Hermon]

I am sure that Asbell pants will be just as good a product as everything else Teresa has produced.  I just wish that the pants had not been announced until they were closer to being a reality.  Patience everyone.

Any news?

[Tater]

Maybe it was an April fool's joke.....  

[stujay]

 I hope.

[tzolk]

You can't rush perfection fellas! When they come, they will be spectacular I have no doubt!

Here's my wool pants and shirt Teresa made for me

I hope they come out with some kind of wind resistant lining too!

[RON ROMAN]

I'm all in, anxious to see the product, 'cause I need a good pair! My Anorak is the "Cats Pajamas!" as my mama used to say.

Melted a short stretch of zipper, was without my jacket for a week while it was gettin replaced. Hadn't quite realized it till then, pretty much my favourite jacket at this point, don't wear it to work,but most everything else..
