Can you dye leather?
 
I have a brown leather jacket but to be honest,black is more my colour.Is it possible to dye it.
I wouldn't mind paying up to £50 but it must be done properly,no bodge job.

cheers
Paul.

You cant dye leather...thats why they breed cows in such a wide range of colours.

(is this stupid question day?)

Can remember how he does it but the hides of cattle are dirt cheap n he's making a packet !

I thought it was polyvinylchloride - so what do plastic cows eat and can you milk leftover crude oil from them ?

Come to think of it a Friesan settee would be a bit different... :)
