Fiebing's Pro Dye Leather Dye (4 Fl Oz) - Alcohol-Based, Penetrating, Permanent Dye for Shoes, Belts, Furniture - Vivid Color, Superior Color Fastness

I did research on Google before buying this dye. I decided to use the oil-based version of this dye because it looked like it produced better results than the alcohol based. I was right. My boots turned out beautiful. You can hardly tell the difference between the black leather that you buy in the store or these dyed boots. I was trying to keep the cost down on this project, so I stripped my boots with alcohol first before I started the dye process. NOTE: The seller of this dye does not provide a way to apply the dye. So I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a small package of wool daubers for $1.50. I took my boots outside, put newspaper down, and with my gloves on and a wool dauber, applied the dye to one boot and then the other. I put three coats of dye on each boot. I let boots dry overnight and put one more coat of dye on the next day. I let the boots dry overnight again and then I put mink oil on to seal in the dye and make them waterproof. This is a process that cannot be rushed. I still have about half a bottle of dye left.

Worked well to dye a python snakeskin belt.!!!! Mix with isopropyl alcohol if you need a lighter shade.!!!!

Restored a thrifted vintage Coach bag. Very easy and it looks brand new! Very happy with this product.

Excellent but buy latex gloves also!

It's good stuff, but, I ordered this "Pro" dye rather than the regular Fiebings Mahogany that I had ordered the first time because I ran out. The "Pro" is much browner than the regular mahogany which has more red undertones. So depending on what color you're looking for be advised. Otherwise I would have given it five stars.

My friend's new mahogany guitar has a wonderfully mellow tone, but while the guitar top has a beautiful deep mahogany finish, its light brown fretboard wasn't the best color match. I bought this for my friend, hoping it could improve things. It did. After using this, the fretboard looks exactly like ebony. Not black - but a very, very dark brown - the perfect match for the guitar top. This is the perfect product for changing fretboard color.

This dye was very effective, and very very dark brown, almost black. It soaked into the veg tanned leather deeply, dried, and the leather was still nice and flexible, with no color rub off. However, I wanted some of the color to rub off for a worn look, and even after sanding the sides of my belt, they still burnished dark brown. So if you’re hoping the color will rub off a little, it will not. I used the method of spraying the dye on my belt with a fine mist sprayer and it worked pretty well for even coverage. Maybe the color would have been a little lighter if I had used a wool dauber. My gloves were goat leather and they definitely dyed black when I wanted brown. They just absorbed too much dye, at least with the spray method. But the pro dye works phenomenal other than that!

Exactly what i was looking for turned my brown boots Black
