For the men, not sure about websites et al, but the following may help. . .

for indigo gi and hakama:
wash in cold salt-water - you'll still be a smurf for a month or more, no way of avoiding that, but the majority of the dye will stay where it's supposed to.

As for the men, some people make a fold of about 45 degrees from eye level so that the side-flaps of your men don't sit flat on your shoulders. Aside from being (imho) a bit more stylish, it also stops the stitching underneath from wearing away as it rubs against your shoulders.
