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.

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

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 . . .  ::)

I guess I would say that I am sort of concerned about bleeding onto boots. I wear Red Wing 877s in that classic tan color, which I am pretty sure will show indigo pretty well.

More than anything, I am just anxious to start breaking these jeans in and just sort of curious what to expect. Thanks for your input and help!

Personally I love indigo stains on boots, but the ones on my RW 875:s are especially beautiful. My Vibergs are showing some nice ones as well and I can't wait to introduce them to the 634:s.

Raw denim will bleed and stain. Deal with it.

Wore my pair of these to work tonight for the first time in forever.  Forgot just how awesome they are.  Super-heavy & super-comfortable.

[injunjack]

got mine delivered a while ago. Me thinks fit is spot on.

pics to follow, and hot soak in the evening.

[Omega Man]

Don't think you need to do a hot soak, they are sanforized.  Fit pics for sure.

[Giles]

No need to soak em

[injunjack]

Not even to get excess starch out??

[Geo]

nope

they wear beautifully straight out the tin

[injunjack]

these were spot on, just a tad snug to button, but I did something I think I saw in IH japan site. I buttoned and just ripped all buttons open a couple of times. No pain in fingers when putting jawnz on.
The cuff is just as wide as I wanted it to be.

Nice…..........
