My jeans are blue - I don't know what I do wrong but black jeans always seem to get 'white' wash lines down them no matter what I do! Although I do wash/wear them every day so maybe why :rotfl:
Hope you have a happy Saturday HH

I must be the odd one out because I've never had a pair of jeans ! Loathe tight clothing of any sort, don't like stiffness of denim and never wear blue !!! I do have some Tencel 'denim' trousers that are lovely & soft, slightly baggy, fit perfectly and never need ironing, though.
And.....amazingly, they didn't need taking up. I think manufacturers assume we're all long-limbed nymphs or wearing 4" heels - alas neither !0
