Can you dye leather?

The issue isn't can you; yes, you can re-dye leather...if you take it apart. On a suit like that with multiple colored pieces stitched together, the only way to do it without ripping seams is to spry new color topcoat over the red......not good. Lotsa bleed through, meaning lotsa coats, meaning flaking, drying and stiffening of the leather......................

Just because you can doesn't mean you should..............
