Omg I'm so glad I found this. I just bought a gorgeous leather jacket second hand and COMPLETELY missed the fact that it was listed as brown, because the pictures looked like a faded greyish black. I was so bummed out, so I'm happy to see that this actually seems easy enough in a video. Thanks!

I love how organized you are with how you deliver the steps to follow. Thank you!

Very informative. Just purchased a silver leather jacket for 20 dollars still with tags on...brought it home and my son said it looked too flashy...fits so well though...thinking of dying it at some point

At first I was not a fan of the idea since I thought the brown looked really nice and vintage, and black is pretty "basic" nowawadays, but it looks SO good! You did an amazing job!

Thank you so much! Yes, I was worried this DIY would be a "waste" in a sense because someone else would totally prefer it as a worn brown. I'm so happy it turned out well so now I can wear it to death

Omg it looks soooo good! It’s so exciting when you do all the research and really nail a project 😍

Just turned a knee high heel pair of off white boots to a beautiful cognac color and they look and feel amazing. I used the brands you did and the boots look like brand new again.

I've just did my black leather jacket, not so black though 🤭 and I followed your advice and looks amazing. Also I've been using the same products as well 😍 thank you😍

I’ve just bought a vintage Diesel leather jacket and it has some wears of use all over. The idea you did is one of the best video I’ve seen🙌🏻 I will be doing this very soon👍🏻

Fantastic job, Letitia! 😊

that turned out great! excellent job as always

Great job. Turned out looking amazing. I actually preferred the brown but I understand why you’d change it. The end result looked professional.

It looks amazing! I have a few jackets to try this out on, thanks for the tips. ♥️♥️

Wowww sis you did a great job !

Superb tutorial expertly edited. Just the info I required, my vintage black motorcycle jacket is showing through brown patina so I'm going to follow your steps to re-dye it black.

Whoa! You look totally rad in that black leather jacket! Vroom, vroom!😎🏍

This video was so useful! Can't wait to try my pants.

Thank you just got my brown dye for an airforce military bomber brown leather. acetone now and now minkoil paste . Cool thanks

Thanks heaps for the video. Im about to colour change my motorcycle suit from white/black to all black. Hopefully it turns out this good!

Looks amazing 🎉

I just bought a leather jacket from the thrift store for $20. I will definitely be doing this to it to restore the leather. Thanks.

Awesome job !

Awesome video. I found a beautiful Wilson bomber jacket, but there is a whitish stain on the sleeve, but after watching your video I'm buying it. Thank You so much!!

Wow, you did a great job on that jacket. Looks great. I am going to dye my bike seat. I have a two tone seat black in the sides, and a brown leather seat. My bike is pretty much all matte black, engine and all. The little chrome that it did have has already been switched out, the top of the seat is the only thing left. Wish me luck, and thanks again!

Omg this looks fantastic

It seemed to come out with a warm black. which is really good. Do you think if you have done a second coat it would be a truer black? Thank you for sharing this! I am totes doing this to all the brown leather stuff I find now!

@letitiakiu

Right after dyeing it was a warm black, and then after applying mink oil you can see a clear difference and in person it's almost a true black! I think because of my colour grading, the video is a touch warmer as well, but it's possible it could be even darker with a second coat!

Hello..I'm new to your channel. What a great transformation for this leather jacket! Beautiful job! I have sun bleach on the arm of my brown leather jacket and I need to redye it ( or make an attempt).... Thank you for sharing this inspiring video!

It looks really good! I’m ready to do it on a fringed leather jacket (black and brown) ugh. I’ve had this fringed jacket for years and have never worn it because of the ugly color.

Fun fact: Gap clothing has the manufacturing date on most clothing 🌟💡

Looks great, and awesome instructions! Any idea if this would work in reverse? I have a black jacket and chaps I’d like to make a vintage brown.

Hey I’m looking to do a similar thing with my jacket I was just wondering how the dye held up after a year? I’m not so worried about it fading as long as it still looks black. :)

Best video thanks

This was fun :)

I'll be doing mine soon. Did the hardware get brighter on it's own or did you clean off the excess dye? Cause, I'm kinda hoping the shiny silver stays blacked out a little..

best tutorial on here thanks love

wow such a infomative video! I'm thinking to dye my blue leather jacket to black. How does it hold up after 4 month?!

I wouldn't have the patience to do all that. I have 2 luxurious black leather biker jackets and 3 pairs of black leather jeans. I'm looking to buy a black leather trench coat soon.

Do you recommend taping off any silver hardware to avoid staining? Or is it not necessary?

How long did you have to dry it out before you applied the sealer? Or do you do that immediately after you dry it with a rag?

Hi, how did the jacket hold up? Was there any colour transfer to handbags? Thank you :)

hi please do you know if can i use mineral oil as a conditioner for a soft leather coat?

What a great idea! I really want to try this on an ivory leather jacket I have. Maybe dying it a light brown would work. Love you and your videos!

Did the dye stain the buttons at all? I’d like to do this on a brown belt I have, but it has a lot of silver hardware I don’t want to ruin

Girl, I just want to let you know that only the left side of the video's audio works. I was going CRAZY because I tried all of my earphones and my airpods thinking there was something wrong with them but it's just your audio LOL

Great video thanks for sharing, I hope you don’t mind if I mention you in the future on my channel. I will be look at restoring some old motorcycle leathers. Cheers Nuffys Builds

Hi How's the jacket holding up? I'm thinking about doing the same to my leather jacket. Do you think I can change red to black?

Good job

Is isopropyl alcohol the same.? Doesn't acetone smell bad.?

Does the dye paint run off should it rain? How has it held up?

Hi, great job. The jacket looks new. Is it real leather or faux leather?

Thanks for sharing your video now I have a question for you any suggestions on how to dye mens wool long coat. Thanks 🙇🏻

Doing this also dyed the stitching? I'm wanting to dye a grey leather jacket to black and was wondering about this. I figured the stitching wouldn't take the dye, but it looks amazing either way. And you dyed yours from brown. At least grey is a bit closer to black.

Oct 2020 How is your jacket holding out now. Is it a good black still

Do you think if I bought like 2 of these my red leather jacket will turn black

cool.

going to attempt this with a sherpa lined/collared jacket...pray for me

Mam I have orange leather jacket I want to turn into black ..how can I change the colour

Thanks for sharing! May I have the product number as I see there're quite few of bottles. I need a one particularly for leather jacket (black). Thanks!

I'm dying brown leather pants I found 4$10dollar make ya holler @thrift store yeah. I'm dying them black to match jacket. Cost efficient kinda ..time consuming a pain in my ass but worth it lol. 10days in ty for this so I can complete the finishing my fun project ty

I just bought a very nice leather motorcycle jacket. It looks like an Elvis tour jacket.with Red and black and white .. I want it all black. I hope this works

Did you ever wash this jacket? I have heard some people wash their jacket at cold temperature. Would this color be waterproof?

Where did you get the jacket from?

I have a blue lamb skin jacket that I'd love to dye black. I'm so nervous though! Considering trying to find someone professional to do it.

Great you look beautiful gorgeous lovely especially in that leather jacket simply stunning

Does anyone know what the name of that dye was I didn't catch the name

Is it possible to go from black leather jacket to brown leather jacket?

How much quantity you consumed for 1 jacket? Thanks for sharing your video

Honestly you gave the jacket many more years

hi I just bought an alpinestars jacket that's dark brown and I'm thinking of dying it black , but before i possibly destroy a $500 jacket i was wondering how yours has been holding up ? btw your turned out great !

Similar situation here hahah, would love to hear how the dye on the jacket is holding up!

Could i do this with a beige jacket?

how did it hold up so far??

How do you think this technique would work on a tan vtg ( schott) Moto Jacket? Do you think a black dye job would be successful, or should I just recondition the old leather, leave it tan and not risk ruining it?

you can apply a second layer if the first layer is fully dry.
