Difficult stain question

Need to draw on the collective OS experience on this board.
I have a blue linen shirt that I washed with a pair of jeans - the jeans have a brown leather tab on the back. It's never happened with these jeans before but the colour from the leather seems to have transferred on to the shirt! Really annoyed cos I've only worn the shirt a few times and I always turn the jeans inside out before washing.
What I've tried so far:
Put the shirt back in to wash with "Shout" stain remover on the stain and a scoop of Vanish Oxi-action in with the powder (Bold)
Soaked overnight in washing soda
Washed again this morning with Stardrops on the stain directly and Vanish in the drawer with the Bold again.
Soaked for 1 hour in Vanish Oxi-Action.
Still no joy. Has anyone any ideas? Have had a search through the forum without much luck.
Many thanks in advance!:beer:

Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality? For all we can see of the true nature of existence is, shall we say, no more than bewildering and amusing shadows cast upon the inner wall of the cave by the unseen blinding light of absolute truth, from which we may or may not deduce some glimmer of veracity, and we as troglodyte seekers of wisdom can only lift our voices to the unseen and say humbly "Go on, do deformed rabbit again.....it's my favourite". © Terry Pratchett in "Small Gods"

I once had a really really stubborn stain that wouldn't go with Vanish powder or spray but finally went with Vanish soap rubbed onto it quite thickly before I washed the skirt. Hope that helps...
By the way, has anyone ever tried to get T-Gel dandruff shampoo out of a cream carpet???? I've been trying for literally years - the stain fades a bit after I treat it then comes back over the next week or two. Very strange...0 -
Sorry to bump my own thread here guys.
Have since used the heavy appication of Vanish stick twice, and in addition used a Dr Beckman's (?correct spelling) colour run remover. The stains have certainly faded a bit but still are there.
Any other ideas or should I just persevere with the Vanish stick?Life in this world is, as it were, a sojourn in a cave. What can we know of reality?
