مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4835
It was narrated that Ibn Umar said: A man called out to the Prophet (PBUH): What clothes can the muhrim (pilgrim in ihram) wear? He said: "He should not wear a chemise, or a head cover, or a burnoose, or pants, or khuffayn (leather slippers), unless he does not have sandals; if he does not have sandals, (let him wear) khuffayn lower than the ankles. (And he should not wear) any garment that has been touched by wars (memecylon tinctorium, a plant dye).” Ibn 'Awn said: Either he said "dyed" or he said "touched by wars or saffron."
