I love that brown color
Interesting that this color is rapidly disappearing from our collective history because of government. Some ten years ago or more the EPA declared leather dye as a hazardous substance..since then at least a dozen American dye companies have ceased to exist. Aniline dye is simply very fine particles..color, suspended in alcohol. The alcohol allows the particles to be suspended and then applied to leather..the alcohol evaporates and the particles have been absorbed into the leather. A great system. One that has worked well for centuries. Until now. Colors like Ed and I and likely most of us love to see, are becoming extinct.
