      Does anyone know if it's easy to bleach and re-colour suede?

        very hard. very few places will do it well, and they will charge you a lot. i would love to color my margiela biker jacket black, but no cigar...

          I thought it would be relatively easy to take the suede down to a light enough shade to then dye black. Do you know what specifically makes it a difficult process?

            MSG darkanimal, I mentioned talking to someone about dying his white couch black for a really cheap price. There's a lot of expertiseconcerning this in the furniture/interior design industry.

              the texture. the dye does not stay even, it leaks, so your jacket becomes streaky.

                I actually had footwear in mind. Do you think it would be just as hard to lighten a pair of suede boots just a shade with a wash in a diluted bleach?

                    for shoes you may not need to lighten the Colour,




                    there are some sprays you can buy to do this yourself, I had some when i used to do runway shows and needed to Colour some shoes Black........... will look around and let you know as i might still have some laying around,




                    Also a very good Cobbler/ shoemaker maybe able to do it for you .........




                    Once remembered a friend of mine using hair dye to recolour his Clarks Desert Boot[74]

                              any Japanese proxies that do on foot/webstore purchases? I've emailed nearly half a dozen of them in the last few days and haven't received a reply....

                                I could probably get my little brother to proxy shit, he's broke and lives in Tokyo. Be a bit of work, motherfucker is LAZY, but it should be manageable. If people are interested I'll talk to him about it either now, or when I go to Japan in two weeks.
