Default Mojave beige and old jeans

Anyone with the Mojave beige interior advise as to discoloration with old jeans? I wear old Levi’s everyday I am not in court and if I am going to need to sit on a towel to preserve the seats I may go back to my original boring black interior. Thoughts?

I have had 2 911s in MB and never a problem with any discoloration... You should be fine...

My Cayenne has slate gray/Mojave beige leather. Wife's has graphite blue/chalk. My Cayman has agate gray/pebble gray. No problem with old jeans. When I order my 992 it will be with slate gray/chalk.

Unless you sweat through your undies and your jeans are wet when you sit down, you should be okay, I think...

Our old BMW had beige leather; over the 6 years we owned it we were constantly cleaning blue off it from jeans. My wife refuses to get a light coloured interior ever again.

4 months of ownership here and no problems so far.

Although I make it part of my routine to give the seats a quick wipe with leather cleaner/conditioner once a week or so just to be safe.

I've never had a problem with jeans but I have with belts. I compromised two leather car interiors that way (slow learner). I'd love a light interior but I'd rather have something that's bullet-proof. So I went black and added some touches that will hopefully make it less boring. Maybe a better solution would be to take off my belt but then ...there's my gf who's not very compliant.

"Im buying a $150k car but won't trade in my $40 jeans". LOL.

Sorry just had to laugh. Its 2020. I totally get it.

I find on my lighter color interiors (BMW in particular) that a damp microfiber cloth will pull out the blue that the jeans leave behind. Hope that helps.
