how to/ can you dye leathers?

[jordey]

a mate has a set of decent barely used leathers he would sell to me, but the colours are horrid and would make me look like a power ranger. is there any way to dye leathers?

Why bother, it gives me great pleasure to shout "Its Morphin' Time" when I dig the leathers out.

You can go darker, especially to black.
Most of the dye bottles (e.g. ebay) are for smaller items but you could do one panel at a time I guess.
Expect the colour shows through to some extent, which might not matter or even look quite good with some colours.

I would be amazed if you don't get some bleed effects if they get wet.

I've dyed leather boots black.
A couple of bottles of dye. Several coats. Patience while it's drying.
Polish 'em up afterwards.
These were yellow+black boots, sadly I've not got pics as the boots have since been sold.
We've bought 'black' boots on ebay that were a terrible dye job. Originally the boots were red.
We did a good dye job and the boots became an even black. Again, not got them anymore.

So the answer is YES, you can dye leathers.
