@ropeadope:

Well, the cuff/flip of the jeans, the weft..

I'm still not understanding what the issue is, can you post pic?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I guess he's talking about this problem: if you have worn a pair of jeans and turn them inside out, you will also see the blue wearing marks. Kinda like a negative image. Especially at the combs and whiskers. But this can also be visible at the cuff as the indigo from the warp threads rubs onto the weft.

I might be totally wrong though

maybe like this..?  which is to me, not a problem at all.

Might as well keep speculating on what ropeadope is talking about.  I think Friday and beautiful_FrEaK have got it.  And if he changes the amount of cuff (1.5", 2", etc.) you see the lines of indigo where the cuff was before.  That's my guess…

I've got similar bleed on my cuffs from the bit of snow that's been packed in them. I like others just chalk it up to the denim gaining character. I am likely to wear these until the cuff blows out and then have them hemmed at that length, so the extra character may end up a bracelet, key chain, or whatever.

Rope, I would do as others suggest and let it be. Conversely they have painted my natural moosehide moccs a funky blue, I could stress, or chalk it up to what happens when you buy things intended to show wear. Personally, I think that scars denote personality.

[PSB]

Cuff bleed is not an issue for us max stackers. Just saying…

However, my light gray sneakers have various shades of indigo, so stacking presents it's own issues.

That being said, I think the sneakers look better with a little blue blood. I'll post a pic later if I remember.

[ropeadope]

Bums-fan got it right… Sometimes I like to change the the length to the boots I am wearing.
And I of course thought just leave it be, but if there was some easy way to clean them, I would..

[Seul]

You guys… Seriously, you guys...

[jdl1279]

Seul, yeah exactly SCARS! I can see what Rope is saying if the issue comes trying to switch out cuff style and length, just nothing I worry on. Mine get a extra inch or so consideration for boots, but then just roughly eyeballed and flipped. The only time that cuff gets touched will be to wash and eventually the chop and hem. To each his own though and I am interested to see how you end out Rope.

One cuff

Endless possibilities

[superfuzz]

You guys are crazy! Just wear 'em!

[jdl1279]

I thought that was the argument being made here  :-\

[Seul]

@superfuzz:

Just wear 'em!

That's what I've been doing… 

[superfuzz]

Haha you're right!

[Boit]

I know of no way to get indigo stains out of anything. Sorry, no help there…but ropeadope, if you wear yours as jdl does in the example above AND it really bothers you, I'd suggest hemming for a single cuff instead. Hem wear will be greatly reduced because the finished edge takes the brunt of abuse.

[superfuzz]

Or hem for no cuff.

[ropeadope]

Well, thanks for the answers! But it doesnt worry me much, just checking if theres some kind of wuick fix… Anyways the only local tailor Ive found couldnt chainstitch the hem.. They would do it pretty cheap tho. What do you guys think? Now its a triple cuff.

[Boit]

Hem for sure. Don't worry about that chainstitch. It's a luxury and detail that you can always have done later.

[pillowPANTS]

XHS today in some real light finally. Fuckin snow

[PSB]

Is that a Cobb exhaust on that WRX?
