Wow, they look great in the ‘70’s denim! I love the fitted top block and straight leg with a roomy thigh, this cut always drapes so well if the length allows a bit of a break at the boot or shoe.

Indigofera goes from strength to strength, they have really good designers. I only own a heavy T-shirt from them but have tried in some light and heavier flannels, the patterns are beautiful and the fit and hand both excellent. The quality is a bit under that of Japanese flannels but the price reflects this, they are affordable even here in Switzerland.

Here are my 70s Indigofera Kains (still new):

Perfection, you Da Man! Those Indigofera's are a create cut.

I like all of those ensembles, and man does that Westerner pop. Time to get mine out of the closet!

Cheers, mate! I’m going to get the Woolly version when they come back in stock as my ‘office pair’, because I seriously believe these are the best jeans I’ve owned

I've never experienced crocking myself, perhaps the pre-soak or first cold wash prevents it, and I also don't wear over-dyed or unusual types of denim that perhaps release more dye. Lees and Wranglers are ****** proof and you can't mess them up, and don't seem to bleed much at all, even onto boots.
Never heard the term crocking before, so I had to look it up, thanks for introducing me to it! Today’s going to be a good day, I learned something new :)
Soak or no soak, there’s almost always some level of bleed in my experience. Then again, I mostly wear Japanese selvedge these days, but when I think back to when I mainly wore jeans from brands like Levi’s and the like, I don’t remember bleeding being as much of an issue, so you might be onto something.

It would be interesting to know how they achieve that. Heavy wash, some chemical treatment, or heaven forbid, a different dye altogether.
