Re: Dyeing a Natural Leather Holster

The natural, or undyed, leather will darken over time, from normal handling. It make for a nice coloration, in my opinion. It will never darken to black, however.

Re: Dyeing a Natural Leather Holster

If so, how should I do it? Would a do-it-yourself black dye bleed on my clothing under any condition?

I haven't dyed a holster, but I have dyed other leather using commercial leather dyes (it's been a while so I don't remember the brand name) I had very poor luck with it and have not attempted it since. The leather dye faded, and was not consistent in color. There may be products out there now that are better for this. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
