- Indigo fades on high-wear edges and raised seams.

- Dark denim can transfer color to pale materials.
How it ages
- Denim is tough, but sun, washing, abrasion, and dye transfer change the surface noticeably.
What to avoid
- Do not use denim against pale surfaces or clothing-sensitive seating without considering dye transfer and fading.
