The alcohol makes the dye very viscous, allowing for good penetration into the leather.

Does the job! These went from an ugly tan to this better burgundy. Wear protective equipment and raggedy clothes for the job. Better to use a small paint brush instead of the dabber that this comes with.

My toddler colored sharpie all over the top of my beloved doc martens. They’re out of stock everywhere so I decided to try to repurpose them and hide the marks before I threw them out. First I rubbed them like crazy with rubbing alcohol but it hardly took off the sharpie and also took off lots of the leather color. So I ordered this dye in a brown to hopefully be dark enough to hide the sharpie but still have brown leather shoes. I’m impressed with how well the shoe took it (after like 3 coats, I pry over did it) but it did work lol and I can wear them again so I’m happy! The part I used lots of rubbing alcohol didn’t take it as well as expected but they’re much better than before and I’ll use brown conditioner to help the pigment keep! I’m also loving the brown. It’s a rich brown and so pretty.

I had bought a pair of Frye boots that I loved the fit but hated the color. I did buy them on Ebay so they were a bargain. I lived with the color and then realized I could most likely dye them the color I wanted without having to take them to the cobbler. I bought this product. Used with only one coat and the mahogany color is fantastic. So happy with the color. This was so, so easy to use and I hope that the color stays and is color fast.

With two coats I changed my brown jacket black.The color holds and it didn't come off or stained my clothes. It works if you use it correctly. It was my first time

Es buena para pintar piel color negro, pero es un negro no muy bonito, no va a quedar como si fueras a pintar algo de manera muy profesional, cumple pero no es lo mejor

I recently scored a pair of cherry-red British-made 8-eye DMs off a buddy of mine that they didn't fit. Worn in but in really good condition. I've never liked the bright-red color, and the old-school way of polishing over then with black takes a long time and still never gave me the color I wanted. I recently watched a YouTube video that showed using leather dye to achieve the desired deep, dark red 'oxblood' color and decided to try it myself.The whole process was rather easy. I prepped an area with newspapers and a couple old towels. I recommend doing this in a well-ventilated area as both the acetone and the dye have strong odors. You will want to do this somewhere non-carpeted as this dye is VERY permanent and you will not get it out of anything it touches. Gloves are a must too as I would imagine this stuff would dye your hands for days or weeks. I used masking tape to protect the yellow stitching, soles, and Air-Wair tags (as I mentioned the dye is VERY permanent, mask off anything you don't want dyed permanently dark red or whatever color you're using). I used 100% acetone and cotton balls to strip the original finish off. I used the included dabber to wipe on a layer of the oxblood dye on both boots on all the leather surfaces including the tongue. The dye seems to initially dry very quickly but I let them dry overnite and did a second layer the following evening. After adding a layer of the resolene sealer, the boots took on a nice sheen without being too shiny. I would imagine you could pilishband buff these to whatever level of shine you desire. They went from that fire-engine cherry-red to a really deep, dark oxblood. They already look great but I think that after polishing a little black into the creases these boots will have a really smart 'vintage' look to them. It also helped mask some toe-scuffs very well. I would imagine that black dye on black boots applied the same way would make them look damn-near brand-new. I have a pair of black 8-eyes that I may try it on.Very pleased with the results and would totally recommend this dye for refinishing your boots or giving them a makeover.

I got this dye to try and fix a nice leather sofa that had sat by a window for several years and had been badly sun bleached on the top half of the couch. The parts of the couch that had not been sun bleached were a dark grey-brown so I went with the dark brown dye. I knew there was no way that the colors would match perfectly and when I tried a spot out in the sun bleached area they clearly didn’t. Fiebing’s dark brown has quite a bit of red in it. I then tried a spot where it wasn’t sun bleached and it was very dark but did give it more of the red hue that would match the sun bleached and died areas.I should mention before I did any of the dying I cleaned the couch with a quality leather cleaner and tried to deglaze the leather with a mixture of lemon juice and water. What you are trying to do with the deglazer is to take off any previous top coat so that water and dye readily soaks into the leather. I initially did not want to use Fiebing’s deglazer as I heard it was pretty nasty stuff and I was planning on doing this project in the living room right where the couch sat. I do have another leather chair that I want to die though so I am going to use the deglazer on that and will report back if there is any noticeable difference.Back to the dying process. Before any dying be sure to put down a tarp if you care about the floor you are working on. If you get it on wood, carpet etc. you will not get it out. To apply the dye I used “Viking Cotton Terry Wax Applicator Pads”. These seemed to work pretty well as the outside is a soft cloth and inside is a spongy material that soaked up quite a bit of dye. You can use the applicator that comes with the dye and while it works well for small areas, I would be there for years if I tried to do a whole couch with it. I did as many coats as it took to get the darkness I wanted and obviously the more coats you do the darker it will be. I got the two distinct areas close enough in color that I was happy with it and called it good. It was by no means perfect but it was at least close enough to not be immediately noticeable. I used about 3 ½ bottles of dye for the whole couch. As another side note the couch does have those brass “buttons” all over the front. I contemplated removing all of them but that was going to be very time consuming. In the end I just applied the dye right over top of them and it only changed the color very very slightly. One other word of warning, wear a couple sets of latex gloves. I had latex gloves on the whole time and some dye still got through making my hands look like oompa loompa hands for about a week. Your co-workers will notice, trust me.After I had let the dye dry for a couple of days I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t come off onto clothes so I rubbed it pretty hard with a dry cloth and it seemed fine. Then I rubbed it with a wet cloth though and dye immediately came off. Crap. After a little more research I bought the resolene top coat and put multiple coats of that on the couch. I ended up just using one bottle of the resolene top coat and that seemed to work pretty well.3 Month Update:I am seeing that in certain areas the dye seems to be lightening and in some areas it has gone back to it’s original color. Here are my observations and thoughts. In the areas that weren’t sun bleached it seems to have gone back to its original color in most areas. My guess is that over time the dye soaked further into the leather leaving the original dye on top. I’m not sure how to correct this but I may try their deglazer instead of the lemon water and see if that works better. I have also noticed some lightening of the dye in some of the sun bleached areas, to fix this I will probably just keep trying the re-dye the area until it is saturated.
