IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
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.

as we all know, soaking will release a lot of the excess dye.
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

You guys sure its not when you turned your Jains inside out during the soaking process?

i don't even see how you could stress the outer seam turning them inside out?? Like Ben I didn't expect it on a pair of £250 jeans.

Geeman. I don't really know what to say to all this. There is no stress on the seam that will cause breakage. I believe that I told you this via PM, so I can only conclude you do not believe me. Every single pair of Vintage Levi's I have, shows the side seam stitching like this. IT IS NOT A CONSTRUCTIONAL ISSUE, if you do not like it, that is a matter of personal taste.
Thompsona As for the "sag" issue, you have wither got the wrong size or your body shape does not suit this cut. The stitching is not "off"
