Jazz, those chukkas are sublime! You have such great boot/sock and watch/shirt colour and texture combos. As Charlie (Watts) would say, "He is so jazz."

Nope! Selvedge Chinos!

I have a question for you.

I am starting to consider integrating jeans into my wardrobe with my suede chukkas. I have a fear of raining and discoloring of the suede - is the discoloring dyeing from the jeans onto the suede chukkas removeable with products or what are your experiences?

Cleav, I think he’s talking about Selvedge jeans. If he is, it would seem the dye from the jeans would really do a number on light colored suede. Do, you have a technique for removing this dye when it happens. I’ve had the dye even get on my light colored calf shoes when wearing my Selvedge jeans.

Thanks mate, yes I did appreciate Mr Underwood's question. May be I should have said that if the weather was to be that inclement that my selvedge would do such damage I should wear something different with wellington boots. Horses for courses and all that

I think with raw denim this can happen even when dry. Though I don’t wear my newer jeans with suedes until they’ve gone through a few soaks already.

Alfred in pony suede, 10,5UK, last 125G.
Got them for 200 euros in a local shop sale.
I like the last!

Maybe I'm just ignorant, but it seems to me that the point is not if the jeans are selvedge or not, but about how much colour they are going to let down.
In my remote memories, the more a pair of jeans has been washed, the lesser colour it's prone to let on boots (or sofa's, or wimmen skirts ...).
Added bonus: more washes > more naturally distressed look > more badass points.

I’m not sure what brand of jeans you purchase, but every pair I’ve bought that aren’t Selvedge, don’t leak. In my closet I’ve got, Lucky, Levi’s, Wrangler, Lee, CK, Nautica. All of these are in the most popular standard style here in the USA, which is Pre-washed. They don’t leak color at all, occasionally maybe on the very first wash. But, yeah that’s why the distinction was made.

Wow, those are really nice. There’s nothing better than when you get a beautiful pair of shoes at a steal.
