How bad is the bleeding of the indigo? I am not that focused on jeans that I would risk my other stuff to get stained.

I second Edward's recommendation of Freddies of Pinewood. They come in a wide 40s style and in a 50s style, both with high waist. Regular price is GBP75.00 which is in itself a bargain, considering the heavy quality denim. I am not aware of any selvedge denims that are more competitively priced. I got mine on sale for GBP45.00. Currently they have some on sale (most sizes are gone, though), one for GBP45.00 and the other style for GBP35.00. Can't be beat.
With my Freddies jeans I noticed the bleeding only once, when I got sweaty and wore white underpants. After washing them everything was okay.

Going back to the original question, I'd really recommend you pop into Self Edge in LA and talk to the guys there, try on some jeans, and see what works for you. They're very knowledgeable and helpful, and it's not the snooty hipster atmosphere I expected at all. I wear Japanese market Ricksons that don't get imported here, but if I didn't, I'd buy from Self Edge. Some of these jeans are achingly correct reproductions of old styles that went extinct *for a reason.* So I'd really recommend you try on a few different varieties to see what works for you.So, I finally decided to have a look at some of these things that everyone seems to love. What do you guys wear/recommend? There's no shortage of brands and styles, and I don't think I'll be dropping $300-$500 on a pair. Any good, reasonably priced denim that has a more traditional cut? Nothing low and skinny for me. But I'd love to see what you guys have regardless. Even in the khaki or olive colors. Open to somethin' new whilst we wait for jacket weather again

Still looking for some selvedge jeans in a lighter weight denim with a longer rise of at least 11" and having no luck.
Any suggestions?
I can't seem to find a brand that offers a zipper fly, and long rise,
For a decent price new or used.
Is the lee 101z the closest to what I am searching for?
The Japanese brands are a bit out of my price range .
I'm close to nabbing a pair of 1940’s 501s. Mint. I hesitated and I hope I didn't lose out. Deja vu for me. Hitting head on wall...
I'm really hoping I can still get them.Good Luck on the jeans! I would love to have those!!--John
