Fiebing'sLeathercolors 4 oz, Tan, (50-2026-TN)

There’s nothing to say about the quality—it speaks for itself. I’m a huge fan of this brand! This dye penetrates leather really well, applies evenly, and leaves a rich, long-lasting color. Plus, since it’s water-based, it’s easier to handle and clean up. I’ve used it on belts, bags, and even furniture, and the results are always excellent. If you’re looking for something reliable, this dye is one of the best.

First dye I used and works great. Was easy to use and I dyed a ton of leather so far.

Color is very good. Applied two coats to get desired results. Has held up very well.

Excellent. The brown dye I bought from Fiebing's works as awesome. I'm impressed with how little you need to use. It works great in everything that I tried it on. Different color leathers ( I had some white scraps so I tried it and it turned it brown like the ad says. So easy to use, dry's super quick, and surprising how little covers so much surface and its obviously durable. I tried it on different color leathers, I used it as a wood stain the hide scratches on my hardwood flooring as a stain for a rug that I previously ruined with a wine spill. Note: absolutely wear gloves if you don't want to have what looks like a henna tattoo gone horribly wrong for days. Wear either an apron or old cloths, do not get it on your carpeted flooring because as mentioned the dye is permanent and you will not be able to remove it. Great product. I have

I dare you to read the title of my review aloud to someone without any context. Chances of them laughing are 50-50.Jokes aside, here’s my actual honest review:On light, undyed leather, the dark brown stains beautifully. The original color of my shoes were too light for what I wanted, so Leather Colors worked out great. I used flat brushes, and they still dyed evenly. Once they dried, I used mink oil to protect and darken them further (see natural light photos).Only took off a star because they don’t work as well on all types of leather, even after stripping color dye completely. I’m repurposing pockets from a red handbag, and used nearly double the number of layers of dark brown dye. Initially, the result look okay, but once dry, they were splotchy, meaning the dye penetration wasn’t deep as their Leather Dye or Pro-Dye lines (but those don’t dry as quickly as Leather Colors, and I needed my shoes stat… and LC was all I had on hand). The protective layer of mink oil I gave it helped save the project.Footnote: To be fair, the bag’s original red dye was a deep burgundy. I’ve stripped color from a lot of leather goods before, and this was really hard to do. Could only get it a little lighter. If you’re trying to dye a dark color, keep in mind that it’ll never look as vibrant as the intended color on the bottle. And ignore the red sides— those are vegan leather/pleather, which don’t dye well with the Leather Colors product. I’m going over those with leather paint later.Extra Tip: Hallmark of testing if it’s real leather is to take leather deglazer or nail polish remover to it first, and see if it comes away sticky. If it is pleather, then get acrylic leather paint or house paint. Those will work better.Now go Dye happy.

I use this as a wood dye. Vastly better than stain and cheaper than fancy wood dye. I can get the very dark colors I want. Alcohol based so dries instantly and any finish can go over it. No bleed through a year later problems.

After receiving this item and looking at the “Fiebing’s Store” on Amazon I got a little confused about what I actually bought. Even though in the description it says it’s a leather dye the bottle says “Leather Color.” So I called Fiebing’s and asked if there was a difference. Turns out the dye is alcohol based, the color is water based and intended for “prisons, hospitals and schools.” This might explain several of the bad reviews about the product being different than the previous times used (although, I suspect some people are using it without deglazing previously dyed leather and I think at least one person might have used it on vinyl?).Also, when I mentioned that I bought the product from the Fiebing’s Amazon store I was told they don’t have one. I said you can click on the link at the top left of the product page and go to the “Fiebing’s Store”. The gentleman said “yeah, they have some funny rules on Amazon about that … but we do not have an Amazon store.” He was nice about the situation but I got the vibe that I wasn’t the first person to be duped into thinking the store using the company’s name was affiliated with the actual company.IMO that’s shady af for Amazon to make it look like a company is actively selling their products here when they aren’t.***the one star is for the bait and switch Amazon does here, not for anything purchased from fiebing.com or other retailers***

Excellent product great price goes on smoothly and has great coverage I will definitely be ordering again from this vendor
