      Progress update. Almost three months of moderate wear. Hoping to double that before it's get hot.

        Probably a dumb question here, but I recently got the 888 19oz IH and love them, but the indigo bleed is REAL :). I’m debating on doing an initial cold soak just to scale the bleed back a little bit so I don’t continue to make everything around me seem like a member of the blue man group was hanging around. Is this a dumb idea that will “ruin” the denim and future fades, etc., or will this likely just result in less indigo bleed but fades, etc. will still develop just fine?

          Not dumb at all IMO. It won't ruin the denim or the fades, but I don't know how much it will tame any crocking. I did a blazing hot hand soak of my pair before wearing to squeeze out some shrink, and they still leave indigo in the usual places, shoes, hem of shirts, jackets, etc. They still evolve just fine after some wear.

          Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

            @camrob717. I don't think there is much you can do to avoid it. But in time that will slow down.

              Embrace the crocking. You can't avoid it. Convince your significant other that it's a necessary part of life.

                I dont presoak any of my denims unless they are unsanforized and unwashed. I also wait till after they are done crocking to wash them in a machine. If they get too dirty early on, then i handwash in tub.

                  Washing will stop crocking more than soaking. A cold soak, as others say, is unlikely to really achieve much in terms of croc prevention

                    @Alex For washing vs. soaking, is there a "risk" to doing this, or would it possibly just take away a bit of the color and prevent some crocking? Ultimately, it sounds like the answer is to embrace it and bring a towel with me to sit on if I'm on light upholstery 🙂

                      Pretty much the main take away

                          I’ve been wearing these for a majority of the week over the last 5 months. First wear was for our family photo shoot for holiday cards. I just now got these into their first machine wash and snapped a few pics. I am really liking the vertical fading of this denim…and seeing the tracks go the other way (first pair of LHT and first pair of 888 🙂
