Thanks guys I did some more distressing and this is how it looks now

A question will dying the distressed parts with a lighter brown dye look good? As it is now they distressed parts are a bit grey and lifeless.

Quite a few people on here had great results with dye. My Raiders Hero jacket in washed lambskin also had grey undertones and I used Fiebing‘s dark brown leather dye on it and am much happier with the color now.

That dye worked great on a few of my items as well.
