Members Professor Posted May 28, 2020 Members Report Posted May 28, 2020 An old method used on police gear was to first dye the leather dark blue. Then if there is any wear through the blue acts as a color killer countering the ruddy hue of the leather underneath. The wear through points aren't noticeable for some time so you can touch it up later. The blue makes for attractive highlighting when seen in bright daylight. Black liquid silicone boot polish works fine for protecting the surfaces. Quote
