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.

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

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

Beautiful as always Dwight. Nuff said.

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.
