Is Fiebing's a good leather dye for holsters?


Recommended Posts

I'm planning to dye some 6-8 ounce vegetable tanned cowhide leather for a holster. The original color is natural... a pale sand to very light salmon color. I'm dyeing it black. 

I'm looking at buying Fiebing's alcohol-based leather dye... 4 ounce for about $7-$8 on Amazon. Will this be okay? I'm mostly interested in making sure it won't bleed onto my shirts and pants when I sweat.

Feibing's is the die everyone I know uses. I'm not sure what other brands are available. One thing I've noticed about the black dye is that once it dries, you need to really buff it with a shoe brush so it doesn't rub off on other things. Once you've done that, it leaves a beautiful black color.

You can pick it up at Tandy's in Nashville if it is convenient for you.
