Thanks for your video. I'm going to try my hand with black dye on a jacket I found at a thrift shop very soon. You've offered lots of advice. Cheers from Japan.

my pre distressed wested cowhide looks fake up close so I darkened it with Fieblings dk brown pro dye then detailed it with medium brown vintage gel, used painting sponges and q tips, make sure you wipe off the excess after applying. also a panel at a time is the way to go for consistency. Looks fantastic and it wrinkled a bit, very nice.

I have a goat jacket that would not take traditional abrasive weathering so I painted it using various coloured leather creams and that turned out very nicely. It goes to show that there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Hi...i have buy a raider goatskin ..it's not brown but grey ...how can i change the color?...more light....thanks

Hi there! I had exactly the same problem. The jacket is great but is totally grey, did you find a solution or something to do with it to change the colour to a dark brown tone? Thanks!

If you have grey undertones don't panic. Once you have completed your weathering just go over the exposed grey areas with tan shoe polish or dye.

Does adding a coat of pecards darken an Indy jacket at all?

[@LJBCProductionsUK]

Pecards will darken a light jacket but not a dark jacket. Also it will eventually fade and need new applications but it is a good way to get medium term changes to the colour
