I'm a huge raw denim fanatic. Oni, brave star, iron heart, and tanuki. If you're not satisfied then send them back. However, in my experience; sometimes my denim bleeds onto the patches. Sometimes it goes away and sometimes it does. With raw denim it's usually all about the patina and fades. Even with the patch too! Often I've found that no two pair of the same model are exactly alike except for fit. You could send then back totally! Also, you could wear them like crazy, watch as they fade and shape to you more and begin to have an appearance that reflects your lifestyle and in another year or year and a half, buy another pair. All of my jeans are raw denim and Japanese other than my brave star and iron heart (U.S. raw denim and Japanese raw denim constructed in the UK) now I might get a new pair after two years but at first I bought a pair about every year to year and a half just because I enjoy the fading process and it would take about a year to reach my opinion of max fade potential.
