I want to be able to make a few card wallets for friends from my Army days. (1973-1975) so I would like to dye my leather OD Green.

All I'm able to come up with is mixing acrylics but cant come up with a dye that will work for my project.

Any ideas of any one know of a supplier?

Thanks in advance.

Angelus does a Kelly green, but I've always had my best luck by mixing feibings dyes.  I use a laboratory dropper to get precise mixtures according to a recipe I keep notes on.

Maybe ?  Seems, I saw someplace recently, there was a new Feibings green dye out ?                                                             There are so many colors in alcohol base now, If so, It would also seem, you might be able to dirty it up a bit with other like dye colors and come out with a shade of olive drab ?                                                                                           Haven't seen it, or looked for it myself, Might be worth looking into though. ?                                                     Might have been, I heard of it from Tandy ?                                                                                                      A Google search lead me to a Fiebings Leather Dye color chart, which lists Kelly Green, Green, and Aqua Green !

Sorry this info is not of any precise help !   --- Wild Bill46

the Fiebings Green Oil Dye is an excellent color. Check with Springfield leather, they carry all the colors of Oil Dye.
