Authentic indigo-dyed denim ages aesthetically into a fade that’s unique to you. If you do not prefer that, talk to our experts and let us guide you in choosing denim that doesn’t age

Yes, new or dark-colored jeans can bleed, meaning the dye may transfer to other clothes during washing, especially in the first few washes. 

Here's why and how to minimize it:

Why jeans bleed:

Denim, particularly dark-colored denim, is known for dye that isn't fully set, so it can bleed during washing. 

Here is how you can minimize bleed:

Wash separately: Wash new jeans and other denim items alone for the first few washes to prevent dye transfer. 

Cold water: Use cold water for washing and rinsing, as hot water can cause the dye to bleed more. 

Turn inside out: Washing jeans inside out can help protect the outer color from fading and minimize dye transfer. 

Soak in vinegar: Soaking new jeans in a vinegar bath (cold water with a cup of white vinegar) before washing can help set the dye and prevent bleeding. 

Use color-protecting detergent: Opt for detergents specifically designed to protect colors. 

Wash less frequently: Washing jeans less often can help preserve their color and reduce the risk of dye bleeding. 

Avoid the dryer: Air drying jeans can help preserve their color and shape, and prevent fading. 

Wash with similar colors: Wash dark jeans with other dark colors to minimize the risk of dye transfer.

You don't need to wash jeans after every wear; a good rule of thumb is to wash them after about 3-10 wears, or when they become visibly dirty or smelly, as washing too often can lead to faster wear and fading. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

General Recommendation:

Aim for washing jeans every 3-10 wears, or when they start to smell or show visible dirt.

Activity Level:

If you're regularly active in your jeans (think: manual work, anything where you work up a sweat), wash them more frequently (every 3 wears).

Desk Job:

If you work at a desk, you can probably go through multiple wears without washing.

Spot Cleaning:

For small stains, use a damp cloth or toothbrush with mild soap instead of a full wash.

Washing Tips:

Wash jeans inside out to preserve color and minimize fading.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the fabric.

Air dry jeans by laying them flat or hanging them to maintain their shape, and avoid the dryer as heat can damage the fabric and alter the fit.

Washing jeans inside out helps protect the outer color from fading and minimizes abrasion, especially on dark-wash or black jeans, by preventing friction and direct detergent contact. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Prevents Fading:

Turning jeans inside out minimizes friction between the denim and other items in the wash, which can cause the outer color to fade, especially in dark-wash jeans. 

Reduces Abrasion:

The outer surface of jeans is more prone to wear and tear, and washing them inside out helps protect the fibers from abrasion that can lead to fading and damage. 

Protects Embellishments:

Turning jeans inside out can also protect any embellishments like sequins, beads, or transfers from being damaged during washing. 

Minimizes Dye Transfer:

Washing jeans inside out can help prevent dye transfer from other colored garments in the wash, especially if they are new or dark-colored. 

Protects Zippers and Buttons:

Turning jeans inside out can help prevent zippers and buttons from snagging on other clothes during washing. 

Preserves Shape:

By washing jeans inside out, you can help preserve their shape and prevent stretching or deforming of the waistband.
