blackandblue50

are there any dyes or other processes that could yield the same effect?

Thanks. I used 80 and 100 to get it to where its at in my photos. I can try 60 as well. Any recommendations for the coloring?

I am trying to reproduce an edge style that I like, not sure how to go about it though. I sanded down the edge but now I just have a rather ugly looking tan/grey edge without many loose fibers. How can I get the edge to look more like the reference photos? Those have a really nice raw frayed look and that great dark grey color that contrasts well with the black of the belt.
