I know the jeans dilemma. Once you find a brand and model that works, change is hard to face. So, if I may offer some food for thought.
Maybe it's the jeans and how they fit? Perhaps try the Levi's (or other brand) cycling jeans that have a hint of lycra in them? I got around the Brooks dye bleeding by purchasing an older used one in black (when the leather was thick), though not super black like a new one - it's well broken in . Don't know what dye process Brooks uses, but my old Turbo and Rolls saddles are black leather and never noticed any bleeding issue while wearing khaki shorts. Rivet backs up their saddles with a warranty, which may make the cost tolerable as an investment. Also, have you tried a saddle with a narrower nose just to see if that helps? Good luck!
