It is all Feibings Saddle tan, topped by a coat of Resolene.

It is becoming my favorite color.  

I first added a light coat of neatsfoot oil, . . . allowed a couple days drying and leveling off time, . . . then dip dyed all the pieces in a cake pan full of dye.

May God bless,

Dwight

Beautiful! And I'm right there with you on the saddle tan. My go-to color lately.

So much leather...so little time.

I use a 2 inch deep, . . . 9 x 14 baking pan, . . . mix a 4 oz bottle of dye with a 4 oz bottle of reducer, . . . for a 50/50 mix, . . . and keep mixing until my qt jug is full, . . . pour it into the pan, . . . go to dying.

A dress belt, all the harness, both holsters, and the cartridge belt, altogether used up about 14 or so liquid ounces of dye.  AND, . . . everything got double dipped on this particular order.

May God bless,

Dwight

First class work as always Dwight. Ive recently used saddle tan as well and love the color, looks awesome on your holsters. The "dip dye" idea is a great idea, now if I can only save enough money to buy that much dye  LOL

When you dip-dye as mentioned, can you pour the mix into a spare bottle and reuse it more than once? Can you add more dye and/or reducer later, if you need a larger quantity than you have saved?

I like the colour.

Apologies for the thread hijack.

Kindest regards

Brian
