I'm dead serious. But I cuff, hence I avoid any issues with my shoes. Am confused as to why my shirt-tails don't get it, but I guess there's not a lot of friction when I tuck in. Don't use wallet. None at all on my jackets (weird-??) My furniture and shoes are all dark, but I have some suede's going into rotation this spring. As far as I can tell, I haven't dyed my girlfriend yet ;-) How many weeks in on those Nudies? Are you wearing those dry with no soak at all?

The Nudies are Long John Denim Stretches, which aren't even really dry: I'm fairly certain they're rinsed. I'm just over 3 months in, everyday wear. Edit: I thought I'd have less bleeding with these, but I guess I was wrong. They're not fading quickly (they're 3% lycra, in addition to having been rinsed), but I'm loving the stacking and combs I'm finally starting to get on them.

A hot water soak with minor agitation should get rid of any excess dye and should stop any bleeding. I haven't had any of mine bleed after an initial soak. What jeans are causing this? Putting them in the drier afterwards will just shrink them more, just like with any other piece of clothing. I forgot how much shit stirring goes on this side of the forum. Nothing wrong with wax coating jeans... http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=19672

In my experience, my old Nudies caused the most staining out of all the denim I've owned, and I've owned Samurais, LVCs, SDA's, and Warehouse jeans. Maybe it has something to do with the Nudie dyeing process?

Only on myself, but I recommend you shave first.

Probably, but at least they don't turn bright blue after the first wash like APCs I shoulda skipped Nudies and APCs altogether and saved myself time and money 3 years ago by buying the SDAs I'm wearing now. I'd have some sweet fadez on these already.

Shit stirring? What's your problem, ass-face? Go back to the Abercombie where you belong.

You clearly don't wax, or have a waxing gf. You need some grow-out first, brother. For the wax to grab onto the hairs and rip them out mercilessly by the sensitive follicles. much respect for womynz...

Yup, I jumped right in with my KMWs, probably could have done some research into sizing though lol

if you wax pot your jeans you may lose some of the tone.
