Members Tshatraw Posted December 31, 2009 Members Report Posted December 31, 2009 I need to make a pair of Brown Angora Chaps. I cannot find any natural brown angora hides. Is there a good way to dye angora? I will be using 4-5 inch staple length hides Thanks! Tim Quote
Members mulefool Posted January 2, 2010 Members Report Posted January 2, 2010 Did you check with Sheridan Leather? I got a black angora hide from them a couple years ago and I believe they had brown as well at the time. Trying to dye it seems like it could be a challenge. I wonder how womens hair dye would work? I'd sure try it on some scraps first. or maybe RIT dye. I've used that on horsehair for hitching. Chris Quote www.horseandmulegear.com
