worst denim bleed ever Sad

a friend of mine has washed his pair 10 times and no better.

asked one of my friends from team linked and the word from stussy is that they are all faulty like this. bit of a diaster for them tho not seen any complaints ?

of course, raw denim bleeds but these are ridiculous.

i've got 2 pairs. one of them i've washed around 10 times and they are fine now to be honest - no bleed. the bleed was still hardcore even after 4 or 5 washes, though.

the other pair are unwashed and 7 months-ish broken in. the denim seems to be wearing pretty thin but they are soooo comfy and soft now.

how much colour loss and did you do a normal 40 washing machine wash or just a cold tub soak (no superfuture)

yeah i did them on a normal 40 degree wash. i don't expect to get decent fade patterns on them, but then again i only bought them so that i have some nice denim that i could wash and that wouldn't bleed all over my trainers.

Guys, are you wearing them with turn-ups, or not?

I dont (wear turn-ups), but with new jeans I have taken to running round the inside/ bottom of the hem with a lightly bleached cloth before washing them. This takes of excess amounts of colouring and prevents/ severely limits bleeding although for dry/ unwashed denim this may be a little stressful for you to do in case you slipped?

Yeah they fit perfect for me, I never really wore 'skinny' jeans before since I'm a throwback to the 90s skate kids with baggy jeans and such.
