I'm not sure if my jeans have any dye in them, but I heard that if you wash them in vinegar and water that it helps "lock in" the wash.

Vinegar can help lock in color, however, the best thing is not to dry them. That helps them not to get the washed looked. It is actually the drying that gives it that used/older look.

Always wash them in cold water and vinegar will help them lock in the color. Turning them inside out also saves the dye in them. They now have a denim dye just for blue jeans have you tried that.
You can buy at most of your grocery stores.

Always wash them inside out and wash with cold water, look for special laundry detergent that is made to keep color in clothes.

wash them inside out in cold water... and use cheer detergent that's formulated for dark colors. and DON'T dry them in the dryer... get one of those wooden racks and lay them out. something about air drying helps keep the color from fading... probably because there's not all that heat drying them out.
i can't testify to the validity that washing them in vinegar will keep the color from fading. as far as the vinegar goes, the only thing i can tell you for sure will happen is that your jeans will NOT smell very good when it's all said and done. i'd stick to a detergent formulated for darker colors.

take it to a dry cleaners
otherwise, just hang them up somewhere and never ever wear them. they will look like they are brand new forever.
Why would anyone want to have designer jeans have the look of being new all the time?
The point of wearing them is to impart the characteristics of wearing them and fading in certain parts of the garment. Its the Nature of the fabric called Denim.
If you didn't want it to fade, you should of bought your jeans in something more permanent like titanium or aluminum.

dont use cheap detergent, except the costco brand(kirkland) is good. but alot of the other ones put more wear on the clothes and make them look old much faster
