        if you live in north america, you can order dyes for leather at dharmatrading
        that's if you want to try dyeing it yourself :)

                      So, what is the cost of dying a leather jacket? $200-$300?

                          I remember reading that some one dyed a leather cloak jacket and the cost was around 300.

                            Yea, that was me with the cloak jacket.The complete re-dye job cost $265 at this place:



                            http://www.superiorleathernyc.com/



                            It
                            looks really good now, they totally saved the jacket. The only
                            difference is they got it a slighter darker grey which doesn't bother
                            me, and the quality of the leather is now slighty different, it's not
                            so soft to the touch anymore.

                              I almost bought this jacket so I'd love to see an "after" photo if you've got one!
