    Incorrectly Washed Raw Denim - Un-Even Dye Leeching. Please Help!!

    Thanks for the post Crane. I read something similar to what you had mentioned in the Nudie booklet. Anyhow, the salt water wash did not work.

    Incorrectly Washed Raw Denim - Un-Even Dye Leeching. Please Help!!

I had worn these jeans literally 3 times, before I had decided to wash them due to their stiffness. Personally I don't care about whiskers and the broken-in effect ,etc. I...

    Yes precisely, that is why I had added the word "intelligent" in the initial message construct, but out of respect towards prospective readers I had removed it! "Any honest (add intelligent here) suggestions will be supremely helpful and greatly appreciated." lol!
