m/c saddle bags

[Windom Leather]

I just got off the phone with a gentelman who would like me to refurbish his saddle bags for his bike. It is made of canvas with a leather back and flap. I haven't seen them yet. But he would like the leather freshend up and the canvas redied. He uses these a lot and are faded from the sun and weather.

So I need to figure out how to redie the canvas in short order and I thought I would ask here first. So any of you ever had to redie canvas before and if so what is the best way to do it?

Thanks in advance

Will

Is the canvas the same color as the leather? If so, I'd just use leather dye.

I haven't seen the bags yet but from talking with him I would assume they are. So fiebings black will work then. Any ideas on sealing and waterproofing? I was thinking that tent waterproofing stuff. Any better suggestions?
