Chocolate Leather Dye

Angelus Chocolate Leather Dye is a leather dye in a rich chocolate brown, for recoloring and restoring shoes, boots, bags, and other leather goods. It soaks into the leather instead of sitting on top like paint, and it won't peel or crack.

Pick it when you want a richer, deeper brown. Choose a 3 oz. bottle, pint, or quart.

How to use it

1. Clean the leather and remove the factory finish with Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer so the dye can soak in.
2. Apply the dye evenly with a wool dauber.
3. Let the leather dry completely, then add another coat if you want it deeper.
4. Seal it with Angelus Acrylic Finisher for added protection.

Common questions

Will Chocolate look the same on my leather?

The final shade depends on the leather underneath, so it can come out a little deeper or lighter than the bottle. Test a hidden spot first.

How do I make Chocolate lighter?

Mix in Angelus Neutral Leather Dye, which is clear and dilutes the color without changing the hue.

Leather dye or leather paint?

Dye soaks in and changes the color of the leather itself, while Angelus Paint sits on top and covers it, so paint is the better pick for going lighter.
