Can I See Your Tan/light Brown Dye Job Photos?

[NewYorkerInSydney]

G'day good people,

I hope this was an ok place to post this. I am looking to dye stuff in various shades of light tans and very light browns. There are so many dyes in the market that I really just can't buy them all to experiment. Will you be so kind as to post photos of any of your leather creations that were dyed with Fiebings dyes in various light tans and very light browns and please post the name of the color you used to make it? It would make my life easier. Thank you, thank you so much.

Many kind regards from Sydney,

Jenna

No dye at all.

Just linseed oil.

And 50/50 Resolene and water.

Hello Big O,

Thanks for your reply. Wow, that holster is very beautiful. It is really nicely done and I really love the color. Just linseed oil, eh? Great job.

Anyone else have any photos they can share, please? Thanks very much.

Here are a few of my holsters done with the Firbings colors as indicated on each. Well, there would be a few more except 'Photobucket' decided to give up on me. Hope these help a little. OOP's, got Photobucket back...a few more. All are finished with Fiebings Leather Sheen. Remember, differing pieces of veg tanned take the dye differently. I'm even working up my own 'home brew' of a stain made with walnut hull. I'll post some pics of that stuff when I get it finished 'cooking' then strained. Again, hope this helps. Mike

Hi Jenna just wondering where do you buy you Fiebings dye in Australia as I've never been able to find it, if you are planning on buying it from overseas most won't send it here as it's alcohol based. I can help you with Angelus and Birdsalls dye if that is the way you were going. If you have got a supplier of Fiebings dye here though I would love to know as although I've got more than enough dye at the moment I'm always on the look out for new colours

Thanks,

Clair

Wow, you guys are so skiilled. Such beautiful leather goods! All those holsters are gorgeous and so is that motorcycle pouch. Wow. Thank you for posting those photos. And hey, Fordsmstack, thanks for that chart. That looks helpful. Some of the eco flo dye colors look great. I just keep hearing about how those dyes fade a lot though.

Im loving looking at these photos. How about some beige colors or very pale tans like camel or something? Anyone got anything like that?

To CEM: Hey, I have had my pro oil fiebings dyes imported from the US. I'm open to other brands as long as the color is nice and I can trust that it won't come off quickly. Can I see your photos? PS. Im going to Birdsall leather this week in case you want me to pick you up something and mail it to you.

Cheers all, I look forward to more replies and photos.

Thanks Jenna, you've obviously found a supplier who will my main one won't but I'm not in urgent need at the moment so haven't worried about it, I've been happy with the browns from Birdsall, Angelus also have to be ordered but they do nice browns as well. I'll try to get some photos of them soon for you.

I don't need anything at the moment but could you look at the Hermann Oak and Wickett and Craig tooling leather for me and tell me what it's like as the Birdsall website doesn't mention what grade it is.

Thankyou,

Clair
