TRG the OneTRG Easy Dye

Brilliant colour, excellent coverage total transformation! Didn't expect such good coverage. One bottle for a pair of nubuck boots with about a 5th of the bottle left!Nubuck looks more like leather after the treatment, and I've done a few pairs of nubuck to leather conversions using just coloured polish, which is a more subtle colour effect.Tis the season to be rainy though, so will review after a few trips in bad weather ☔

I bought this to recolour a bargain leather jacket which was advertised as burgundy but was more of a dark brown when it arrived. I was skeptical about dyeing leather a lighter shade than the original, but this stuff did the trick. One coat of Bordeaux dye was enough to transform the colour into a real burgundy (attached picture shows before and after colours).The bottle did a full coat of a UK size 10 jacket with just a little left over, using a light coat as per the instructions.The colour is just slightly patchy in places now that it's dry, so I'll be grabbing another bottle to do a second coat, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how well the initial coat came out.

So I had a pair of Adidas ultraboosts, they were quite discoloured but are still a very good pair of shoes so I decided I'll try and dye them. The result speaks for itself. Obviously this dye wasn't intended as a fabric dye, so when I go running and my feet sweat my socks get some black dye on them, but I've only worn the shoes twixe now, I'm planning to leave them in a bucket of water overnight to take away any dye that will rinse out, just leaving the black fabric. But the dye is truly excellent for purpose, it doesn't crack on plastic/rubber and is a very good deep black colour, even when diluted with water, it is still excellent. Please see the before and after photos attached.

Never dyed boots before , but had 3 pairs of red ones , and needed a certain tone of purple for a pair of purple trousers I had. Had tried buying of internet , but colour was never right , hence the 3 pairs of red ones!!!After studying the samples for a while , I took a guess on deep lilac.It came really quick, and I started in.After reading all the past reviews , I did what they said and used the rough end of the sponge to scrape and toughen up the leather. Had to end up using fine sandpaper I had , as the bit on the sponge didn't last 5 minutes ! .Got que tips , and went round the edge of the boot with the dye, as a type of outline .Then dappled and circled the main bit with the sponge. Left to dry for 2 hours , then repeated , it did need it, as some red was still slightly visible .It's now been a day , and they go with my trousers great , happy .Going to seal them with a spray, or something , as not sure how they would stand in the rain , as the dye washed really easily off my hands in the sink.They look perfect , no streaks , or colour blotches .. but have yet to wear them yet.. so fingers crossed they last!Deep lilac colour though is lighter than the pic .. see my pics for colour .. photoshoppedto give the correct colour , for anyone looking at deep lilac

Price is a little high compared to more established brands but its a good little dye that spreads well. The only thing I would recommend is to add a few drops of water to it - as it is a little sticky when it dries on leathers and feels slightly tacky in a manner of speaking. It sticks to everything thereafter - so best solution is that since the dye adheres well to material you use a few drops of water to thin it down a little and once dry apply a leather finish gloss or wax and that resolves the problem.Would buy it again, despite the price.

This was a bit of an experiment, I had some shoes which needed to be revived, the colour is not exactly what I wanted but it's fine now it's done and the shoes look a lot better. It's very easy to use but make sure you don't get it on parts that should not be dyed. Take time to decide on the couloir you want and make sure the leather is clean before you use the sponge to rough up the leather. Otherwise it's great.

I bought some satin shoes on line for a wedding, but they turned out to be closer to Royal blue than the really dark navy I wanted. They weren't expensive so I thought I'd have a go at dyeing them as I wasn't having any luck buying the right colour. It took all of 5 minutes to achieve a perfect match for my dress! Really pleased with the result and I used such a tiny amount there is plenty left for another project. Definitely recommended.

Completely useless. I spent a very long time removing the polish and preparing my mid-calf black boots for this dye. I then used two coats with 24-hour drying period in between. Came home after wearing them the first time to find the grey dye had peeled and flaked badly wherever the leather creased. In fact I could peel large piece of it off easily. Now I have to try and take off ALL the grey stuff to even get back what were a nice pair of boots! I am going back to Dylon shoe dye, which never gave me this problem.
