Members DavidL Posted April 13, 2014 Members Report Posted April 13, 2014 14:43 1:40 what type of dyes do these companies use? Im using professional fiebings oil dyes and angelus and they work well, yet I'm curious if they use fiebings as well or if they chose to use a european type dye. Quote
Members WyomingSlick Posted April 13, 2014 Members Report Posted April 13, 2014 Great video showing what goes into making a $700 pair of shoes. Thanks for posting it Did you check with their customer service department. A simple email request for information on their products should yield an answer. Quote
Members DavidL Posted April 13, 2014 Author Members Report Posted April 13, 2014 il send them an email. I think they won't know the steps and supplies that go into making the shoes, but its worth a try. Quote
Members jk215 Posted April 14, 2014 Members Report Posted April 14, 2014 High end shoemakers like this only use top grade calf or shell cordovan leather none of which they are dyeing on their own. It would be drum dyed at the tannery in the colors they select. Quote

Members WyomingSlick Posted April 14, 2014 Members Report Posted April 14, 2014 this leather was hand dyed shown at 1:43. It also show the bottle of dye, although none too cleatly. Perhaps you could look at picture of dye bottle in catalogs/online and figure out whose dye it is? Quote
