Toastie Report post Posted January 23, 2017 My wife is looking to do a Star Wars character to get into the 501st. The character she is doing is Darth Traya. This character has a leather headpiece and I have a few questions I got a 4/5 ounce single shoulder from Tandy leather to work with and I am planning on wet forming it to her head. I have attached a few pictures My question is what is a good dye or paint for the black, and what about that red. What can I use on the head piece to keep it from drying out Also is Tandy the only good place to order leather. I need a 3 inch wide strap that is 72" long and all I find is the 50" long ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sceaden Report post Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) For pure black Fiebings Pro Oil should work. I believe any acrylic paint will work for the red area as long as you have a topcoat finish. http://springfieldleather.com/ has a great selection of products. I have never purchased from Zack White but here is a strip that might work: http://www.zackwhite.com/3in-Natural-Vegetable-Tanned-Leather-Strips--XXL-Length_p_1372.html Edited February 3, 2017 by Sceaden Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
