Dye Loss in Selvedge Jeans First Wash
So I washed my Levi's Selvedge for the first time, and I knew to expect some dye loss on the first wash, but I didn't expect this much. Is this normal to have your hands slightly dyed after handling them?

very normal. would expect similar in the next wash or two.
to reduce the indigo loss, try washing inside out and with cold water
Yeah I did follow those two steps luckily.
I assume if I were to wear them after they dry that indigo will still rub off onto other clothing items even if dry?
will rub off but you won't notice unless it's a ton of exposure/friction and the thing is like stark white. maybe the tops of your shoes
wouldn't stress it
