Raw Denim that won't bleed

[ChadR]

I love raw denim, but having the indigo bleed on my clothes is something I would love to avoid. Are their any jeans that I can buy that won't bleed on my undergarments? (if not, what are some other decent non-raw jeans)

Thanks!

[indesertum]

i think raw by definition means it's going to bleed. you could always get the jeans you like in a one wash state.

Ive never had jeans bleed onto my undergarments(only shoes and tucked in light coloured shirts..not very noticable on the shirts though, when untucked they were fine) Ive worn Samurais and cheap H&M raws.

What would happen with my RRDS' was that the indigo would stain the crotch and the waistband of my underwear (white). What are some suggestions for some decent 1washes- the hard thing is that I love the dark sheen of unwashed denim...

From my own experience Julian Red Californias bleed very little. I've worn them with white shoes during the biggest part of the summer, and they haven't got any visible indigo stains on them.

don't wear white underwear

[selaviso]

^^^ my thoughts exactly

[fre-co]

surely you can wash your white underwear hot or even bleach it?

[braid]

Who cares if your underwear has indigo stains on it. Do you parade around modeling in your underwear?

[fre-co]

maybe his mom complains that she has to scrub it

[DEPHT]

indigo stains on belts, wallets, "shoes that look better with age" = adds character

indigo stains on light colored suede sneakers, white button up shirts = looks sloppy

I had the same problem, all my white socks and some of my white shirts were stained blue. I just washed them with some bleach and they were good and new.

[PG2G]

white socks?

I've had my black Imperial King for 4 months, and it has never bled. But on a down side, it's also a bitch to show any wear.

[tweeds]

have you looked at rag & bone? their jeans have been treated to slow down wear but i'm not sure if they are completely colourfast. there's little documentation on them here, try a search on styleforum where the brand receives more attention

also, note that your jeans will sooner or later stop bleeding.

you have to compromise... why dont you were underwear that isnt white? maybe? and like others have said... why not just wash them hot and that indigo should come right out.

personally, ive never had any problems w/ any of my underwear getting any indigo transferred, even after 11 months of wear w/ my nudies and now w/ my flatheads im still not getting much really.

[ChadR]

I appriciate the help guys. -I will look into rag and bone & imperial king more. Are they anymore options like that? Thank you for the comments about the underwear thing, but I have thought it out and that is why I wanted to know what are good non-bleeding jeans.

[plongin]

to be honest, I never had intense denim bleeding from my apcs. my skulls and diors bled alot, but my apc rescues didnt.

[derdankhund]

this is sort of related, but is there any non-overdyed denim that will hardly fade at all?

I'm looking for a pair of raws that will keep the raw look forever, but would prefer to avoid the pricetag of natural indigos due to a reckless CD boot purchase that I was unable to prevent myself from undertaking...

[PG2G]

My pair of rag & bone rb6 did more bleeding onto my shoes than any other jeans I own.

[lilldavid]

Wasn't it the Momotaro G001-T that wouldn't ever fade?

[salaami]

wear dark underwear.

[emceedrive]

Get some draws damnit

[esoteric]

I never have any problems with any of my jeans on undergarments..

Only thing I see sometimes is that my white socks are blue, but I don't really care about that.

I'd say compromise!

[Biff15]

from my experience, bleeding (minimal or otherwise, depending on the denim) is a by-product of good raw denim. simple as that.

i think it's a small price to pay, really... but if it's really a problem, just wear black underwear.

[Revsta]

My Nudie Even Steven dry organic (in greencast) never bled at all. My APCs RRDS and SSKs bleed like hell.

[ChadR]

Do sugarcanes bleed a lot? Samurai? Studio's?

I do appreciate the advice but I do need denim that won't bleed.

[frank]

then you're out of luck my friend. raw=bleed like a mutha fucka

[napoleon]

I don't understand what anyone is going on about. I haven't experienced bleeding with my jeans except on sneakers after long wear but not on shirts or undies or socks or furniture. It took months for the white pocket material to pick up indigo off the jeans.

I soak my jeans before wearing though.

i think bleeding is independent of the brand, and more to do with the denim and the dye.
