Denim stains in natural hide wallet.....Prevention methods?

Just took some shots of my wallet.

It's a pretty simple "Red Moon" - style copy, made by Leather Goods Connection in the US. I really like it and at 90 USD its a great value.
Due to the dark jeans I wear, the wallet gets a lot of stains, mostly blue-greyish, and I have found no way to prevent it from staining....

What I do frequently is to clean it with ordinary saddle soap...this stuff sucks the dirt out, but the downside is that it dries out the leather as well, if used to heavily. A thin coat of beeswax definitely helps to get it smooth again....but makes the leather even more prone to staining...

Any ideas?

Here are the pics, the bees wax is not yet applied:

Re: Denim stains in natural hide wallet.....Prevention metho

I have the same problem on the inside of the hem on B-3 jackets. The darker coloured dyes in some jeans transfer to the wool. Worse still it can happen to the pale grey leather in my TT !
I think a change of trousers is the only solution.
