Spider Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah but my point is that you can get various dyes at Tandy. I use Saddle Tan and Tan antiques for most of my work but there are many other options. Those items on the site look like they were kinda brushed on to give it the worn look. I love making stuff look broken in.
