Change holster color

[JohnKos]

I have a tan Don Hume OWB holster for my PT111. Is there an easy way to change the color to black without causing harm to the leather? I also don't want to end up with black all over the left side of my clothing.

If you have a shoe repair shop in the area, ask them if they can re-dye the leather for ya. If not, check your local craft stores and look for leather dye. It might help to take the holster with and ask if they know anything about dying leather.

Leather can be re-dyed at home.

I did a couple of couch cushions with great success.


I used a fine abrasive pad to prep, and acetone to strip as much color as would come.

Then redyed using leather dye.

Buff it out like you would a shoe..

Leather dye or stain is available in many places, here is just one place I found http://www.shoeshineexpress.com/inkwaxstain.asp

PS that stitch wax is great for removing the evil squeeks on holsters.
