JACKP Report post Posted May 26, 2010 I recieved my half shoulder from Tandy today and the color is very light. I would like it darker. Is there a tutorial on dying leather anywhere ? How to choose the right dye for leather ect. Any help would be appreciated. I will use the leather for knife sheath and a holster. Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) IMHO the only way to go for standard dyes are feibings oil dyes and angelus dyes. Other then that there are many natural ways to dye leather or darken it considerably with various shades of browns and blacks. Try reading thru some of the threads in the dying section.The dying portion of projects is very tricky at first.
