@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

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
