Thank you for the tips on handling indigo, guys. I just want to stop the heavy bleeding. Will hanging the coat out in the sun be enough? (It's certainly the easiest.)

I am now scared to try on my Sashiko again. It has been hanging in my closet. Given I don't wear many dark clothes, this may be a problem.

I've been considering it too, but I'd prefer to have it in the lighter, 8/9 oz weave, which is softer and better for real heat.  Minnis is usually open to producing special runs.  I wonder if we'd have enough people to do one for this.  Would you guys rather have it as is, 10 oz 3 ply, or would you be willing to try to get Minnis to weave the lighter one?

Think of it as an opportunity to get more clothes.

Fok's reply to europrep would apply well to you too, CA: Might as well get both weights. I have the light and medium gray frescos in 8/9 and 10, plust the flannels in those colors. For a complete odd pant sent, you could add similar trios in oatmeal or stone (linen, fresco, and flannel or corduroy) and tan/khaki (cotton, fresco, and cavalry twill or corduroy).

soak it in water and a bit of vinegar to set the color.
An acid will set the color somewhat. However, the higher the quality of the cloth (more dips, more saturated) the more likely it will bleed. I would still advocate wearing with darker clothing for a bit, just to be safe.
