Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing I ordered a bottle of Dark chocolate Fiebings Low VOC this morning. I'll report back once it arrives and let everyone know how it looks. I think with a deeper brown that doesn't have any orange tint, I should be able to dilute it and get a nice light brown. Thanks everyone for chiming in!

Just the regular Fiebings leather dye like in the photo below. I find that coating first with resolene gets an even color that allows you to make circles with a dabber without some sections being darker than others. I think it's because the leather doesn't absorb nearly as much dye if it has been coated first. I haven't yet tried neatsfoot oil but I plan to pick some up. Would you suggest rubbing some on before the dye?

Thanks. Would you coat the leather in resolene prior to rubbing on the walnut or chocolate dye? I do normally because it causes the dye to go on much more evenly but it also messes with the shade of the color a little.

Thanks. I had seen the Eco-Flo Bison Brown and thought it was nice but still not the same. Some of those Angelus colors are pretty close

Fixed, thanks. I don't know why it likes to choose HEIC files which no one can do anything with!

Hi, been reading the forum for a few months but just signed up today. I'm working on a leather belt for my Mom and she wants it brown like the pair of boots in the photo below. I've always used Fiebings leather dye and there's nothing similar to a brown like the boots. By the time those dyes get lighter, they start to get orange. These boots are still brown even though they are nice light brown. Do I need to mix colors together or is there a dye on the market that is the color I'm looking for? Any advice would be appreciated. Below is a photo of the brown boots I would like to match And here is a photo of a scrap with medium brown diluted with about 40% water and the leather was coated with resolene before dyed. I like the color but it is much more orange than the boots.
