Eco Flo on an LC

[Kt Templar]

I've had this "antique cow" LC for a good few years, love it, but it's always been slightly light and slightly grey my eyes.

Now, I know that the original jacket is not quite as reddy as many of the images make it seem, as they have been graded warm, but you know how you minds eye gets skewed.

So, I finally hit it with some Eco Flo tan and went over the distressed areas again with tha scotch brite, and I'm quite pleased with the result. The Eco flo is worth a play with.

Wow, what an effect!

Not familiar with EcoFlo, what is it?

Not familiar with EcoFlo, what is it?

EcoFlo is a leather dye. Interestingly the product page I looked at states

None of the products we sell are recommended for touching up, refinishing or redyeing leather. They are sold to dye natural vegetable tanned leather to the color desired.

KT sure got a great result.

That's a fantastic result. Well done.

Have a few questions for you:

- So I am curious, when you had finished dying it had all the original distressing completely disappeared/ been covered by the dye or did some of it still show through?
- And when you went over the distressing again do you mean with sandpaper or rubbing alcohol acetone?
- Did you use a specific technique to apply the dye?
- Any tips or pitfalls to know about when dying a jacket this way?
