brown leather-ware

For those of you who have Cavscouts chestnut colored belt, is the color and finish close?

The leather colors I'm carrying cover the spectrum pretty well. Black is black so not a lot of clarification needed there. Chestnut does have a reddish tint to it. Tan has a bit more orange in it much like the Tan Kiwi Shoe Polish. Brown is a deep chocolate brown.

I've provided belts for a few customers who are hoping to match a sporran or some other leather accessory and each has reported that they match pretty well. One of these has been Tom' sporran.

One option that Tom and I have considered was Me sending him the raw belt to be finished to match the sporran. I don't think I'm speaking out of turn if I say that it is something Tom and I will do if you want. It does incur extra postage for sending the leather back and forth.

Cavscout is correct, we would do our best to ensure that the dye/stain matches. Two pieces of leather from different hides may take the same brown dye or stain differently, however. Black seems pretty uniform.
