Raw Denim Bleeding?
Does anyone here have experience with raw denim? I was looking into purchasing a pair of Naked and Famous jeans, but I am particularly concerned about the indigo bleeding. How bad should I expect it to be? Does it happen constantly, or only when the jeans are wet? Does it eventually stop?
Thank you all for the help!
It will eventually stop, I bought a used pair of jeans and washed them by themselves, the water turned blue the first time, but i rinsed them twice. Now I’ve been able to wash them with other clothes. I’d say wash them by themselves on the “mini load” option until you’re sure they don’t bleed. Some people say soaking them in hot salt water will help them stop the bleeding, but don’t take my word for it, do some research. Good luck!!!

LikeDislikeIt can vary a lot depending on your brand, too, so be cautious. Wash them on their own until the water doesn’t seem to be showing any dye, then wash them with some things you don’t care about (rags and kitchen towels work well, especially light ones that’ll show any bleeding onto them easily). If that goes all right you can probably start washing them with other clothes.
