I have washed these probably 2 dozen times since ordering. I wear them at least once a week at work and every time I wear them, I have to wash my hands several times to get the blue off of them. I have tried the "wash them in vinegar"  "wash them in salt" " wash them with cold water" "wash them inside out" to no avail my hands continue to be blue from the dye. I will continue to wear them, they fit well, they look nice and I love all the pockets. Some day the dye will be gone but I am okay with that. Funny thing is, they don't seem to be fading! How that is working I don't know but they are nice light weight jeans. They shipping withing a couple of days with no issues.
