Members Dwight Posted August 19, 2017 Author Members Report Posted August 19, 2017 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.

alpha2 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Posted August 19, 2017 Beautiful! And I'm right there with you on the saddle tan. My go-to color lately. Quote So much leather...so little time.

Members Dave Richardson Posted August 19, 2017 Members Report Posted August 19, 2017 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 Quote https://www.facebook.com/dave.richardson.35977
Members Dwight Posted August 20, 2017 Author Members Report Posted August 20, 2017 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.

Members Mattsbagger Posted August 20, 2017 Members Report Posted August 20, 2017 Beautiful as always Dwight. Nuff said. Quote
Rockoboy Posted August 21, 2017 Report Posted August 21, 2017 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.
