are we talking raw denim? I've read soaking removes any excess dye. 
 
 
 
  • [size=1em] Fill tub with lukewarm water.
  • [size=1em] Add a small amount of laundry detergent. I recommend Woolite Dark for minimizing indigo loss.[/size]
  • [size=1em] Place jeans into bath tub turned inside out if you prefer. Move around in water to loosen up any dirt and grime.[/size]
  • [size=1em] Rinse jeans with clean water until soap is gone.[/size]
  • [size=1em] Hang to air dry[/size]

Any clothes that you buy should not bleed excessivly. if it does, it is a defect and you should return it. The clothing industry is at fault for many of the cheap crappy stuff on the market but if you only paid $10 for a pair of pants, one would probably at times expect that. However, if you pay a lot of money for something that is leaking dye, that is dishonesty of quality on the manufacturers's part.
