I think that I am missing something here. I thought that the norm for jeans, was that they were faded.

not when they have faded too much

I dyed my Armanis with dyelon from Tescos, very easy and looked good, note it will dye all thread so any distressed areas with white threads will have blue threads after etc

Dylon washing machine dyes are great for jeans - just watch the stitching it doesn't always dye though. Doesn't harm washing machine either. You will need to buy salt. All instructions in packet. You can also get at Wilkos.

It will dye everything, including badges.

It might be possible to prevent it by putting something to prevent dying. Maybe some oil, vaseline or something similar. It might be worth experimenting on something else first to find out what works. Put the dye prevention onto an area of the test material and see if it works.

It's either that or remove the labels and sew them back afterwards.
