I got a pair of Earnest Sewn Hutchs off the Gilt sale a few weeks ago. They've been sort of sitting here by my desk because I'm not sure what to do with them because I've never dealt with a pair of jeans that are dyed this way. The finish is called "Oil Slick" and they were labeled as "Indigo" on the Gilt Sale.
They look like they were just totally saturated in dye so much that they're totally black. You can't see the white threads through the indigo dyed threads. But along the hem and other folds in the fabric like the inseam and outseam, you can see that it has a blue hue.
My question is: will these fade into a regular blue denim? Right now they're totally black. I don't really know what to make of it. I'm also worried that the first soak will lose a ton of indigo since they are pretty much oozing dye at this point. Should I just get them hemmed up and start wearing them in? Are these going to eventually look like my Ande Whalls or Levis? Is this a stupid question?
Here's a link to another pair with the same finish. As you can see they just look like black jeans.
