soaking is not going to prevent indigo transfer
part of the game, get used to itIm in no way a novice to the game, Ive just never owned a pair of raws before that had such an excessive amount of indigo. I understand indigo tends to stain certain fabrics, however, as we all know, soaking will release a lot of the excess dye. Handling my jeans leaves my hands blue, this is not standard in the game, so I was just looking for some input to see if I underestimated my first pair of Iron Hearts with standard soaking methods, any comments or advice is much appreciated

You just got to the next level in the game… Congrats...
laughing my face off at this comment….
I've had a few pairs that turn my hands blue. Seems pretty standard to me. Just wear those shits and the indigo will calm down after a while.... in the mean time you may want to keep a towel to sit on handy and maybe some wipies for ya fingies

Still normal.
EDIT: in my experience, the heavier the denim, the more frequently you see this. I haven't really seen it on any pairs I own under 16 oz, but it's present to some degree in all the pairs I own that are 17 oz or above.
Others may have a different take on it…

geeman - you're letting a common occurrence get in the way of your enjoyment of a great pair of jeans. just forget about it & wear the things, they're not going to fall apart. what's the worst that could happen here - the stitching comes loose and you need to get it repaired.. simple. all my slimmer fit jeans have this, even the non iron heart jeans i'm wearing right now which i have worn non stop for a year, and nothing has ever come of it.

No we don't because it doesn't. Washing with a lot of agitation may, but a mere soak will not.

rephrase, a lot, no, but remove some? usually yes….kinda derailed though, just wanted to know if the newly liberated indigo dye in my jeans would cease staining everything with another, longer soak, however I believe the people have spoken, and consensus says my hands and light colored fabrics shall suffer... much thanks

Bleeding denim is definitely part of the Japanese Denim Game….
In fact, it's how I know the game is on. No indigo bleed = no game.
Absurd as it is, my parents don't let me sit on anything light coloured just incase I'm wearing fresh denim. Even they respect the quality of Japanese Denim.

NO its not about the method of soaking as i don't do inside out but other than that everything about the jeans is superb especially the denim fabric, it might not be the best fitting i am looking for but it still look great on me. I am looking forward for a different experience on my next IH purchase a Devil's Fit OD.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with the seat of these jeans. The stitching is causing the back stick straight out and sag (more). Did I put these on too soon out of the tub and need to shrink them back down again? I don't think thats the case, it seems the stitching is off, is this common? Thanks in advance for any help/input
