@Splattered:

Yeah i have been weird about dry denim period… first i was freakin about sizing, then hemming, then giving a soak, and now washing... haha once i actually successfully give a pair a wash in one way or another i won't stress anymore. That's the final piece of the process in my eyes i suppose? I know they're "just jeans" but so are levis/wranglers/etc and i beat the shit out of those and don't care. I just care a bit more about these i guess

Don't

Just ordered a pair of IH-634s and this will be my first pair of real jeans. I have been wearing raw 501s and I am hoping to find something that lasts a bit longer.

I seem to have found some conflicting information on here regarding indigo bleed from these jeans. Some say that these have bled a ton and some say that they don't bleed too badly at all. I am not afraid of a little indigo stain but would sort of like to know what to expect. I plan to wear the jeans cuffed.

Would an initial cold soak (in vinegar?) make any difference?

[riffblaster general]

i haven't noticed a lot of bleeding in mine.

[Jpo1932]

Some of my socks are a little blue.. but nothing serious really.

[daveo]

Where are you concerned about bleeding?  I noticed a lot of blue on my hands for the first couple of months but not really much damage on anything else.  My boots were all indigo stained already, though.

i've got a bit of transfer onto my kicks (pale coloured, suede and canvas areas), and I wear my 634S cuffed - but you've got to remember that there is contact and friction in those areas so it's definitely going to pass some dye . . . problem is, you can't predict the outcome - there are too many parameters to measure - e.g. colour and material of items in contact with the jeans, time in contact, temperature, moisture . . . all sorts of variables, each leading to a slightly different conclusion

and on top of that we're all generally keen on the idea that our jeans give up some of their dye so we can appreciate their evolution and develop a unique character

the answer is, there probably is no accurate answer . . .  ::)
