The color will naturally fade with constant wear and washes. To minimize fade, wash in cold water, light detergent, and hang dry. The cheaper jeans use a synthetic dye which is more colorfast. If you want the jeans to "say" who you are by the custom fades that come from natural wear patterns, you're doing fine (just don't sit on white fabric sofas and the like). If you don't want the blue dye all over you when you wear them with whites or bright color tops (underwear), you need to look at buying less expensive jeans. Miley,

The dye is still coming off on my hand and sleeves of my shirt. What can I do to stop this?
