I’ve had light tan interiors in my porsches since 2011 and never had any problems here in So. Florida with jeans or for that matter any dark clothing. I do clean my seats once or twice a year but no blue jean stains. Just ordered my new C2S with Black and Tan leather.

11 years of this with beige - doesn't matter how faded my levis are, the seats turn blue, I got sick of cleaning them (it can be done and the Griots stuff will get it off eventually) - so I resorted to a tan towel. I do love the black and tan color combo, but the jeans thing - I don't think I'll do it again and I tried but couldn't make the switch to khakis.

Page brand mens jeans bleed all over my red seats in my 17 991.2. I think it has more to do with the brand jean than the leather.

I think you are correct! No problem with Wranglers or Lee’s. I use Leather masters protection cream twice a year. Never a problem.

I've been using Gyeon Leathercoat and have never had an issue with dye transfer from jeans and I typically wear raw or very dark denim.

Do your jeans ruin lighter furniture in your home, at restaurants, hotels, etc? If your jeans are going to stain a beige Porsche interior (which brand new, unwashed, dark jeans may do), they're going to stain anything else. I've had slate gray for years with no issues.

Beige leather interior goes well with new blue jeans and a 3 year lease.

Yep same things with my old 997.2. Have seen a few new BMW concept cars with all white leather interior and gaped in horror. No dayum way I'd even try it!

Never heard that one but had to find out on my own that it can happen.

Yes on my 997.2 Racing Green and Sand Beige I had to abstain from wearing jeans OR get a very good leather cleaner to clean the car. I noted fade in after multiple times driving and wearing after about a month as noted...light blue was best...dark jeans a problem. One of the primary reasons I ended up trading the car for an Agate/Black C4S even though it has 5k more miles than my S. Just saying beware.
