Faded brown leather for the Omega Speedmaster

When fading/antiquing leather you never really know how it’s going to end up. The trick is to start with a much much lighter colour than you actually want and work your way down to a darker tone. This particular piece started as a bright camel colour and after an hour or two of hand feathering dye, I eventually got to this pleasingly aged tone of rugged brown.
