I like the colour of the jacket definitely not SSB. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710443 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 01:07:48 +0000 Suz 710443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow....I am getting so excited about that jacket! The fit is super on you and what a find. I think once you dye it, it will be a complete workhorse for you. </p> <p>Love your T, too. My daughter would ADORE that. She has a (much sweeter) T with a HUGE Siamese on it. I should snap a pic of her in that for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710346 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 23:17:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 710346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the panther tee and the fit on the leather jacket is really good. Love the idea of dying it another colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710344 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 23:14:55 +0000 JAileen 710344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! Definitely #4. If I saw #4 (the color) I would definitely buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710237 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:19:03 +0000 harmonica 710237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the thrifting + DIY queen! I vote #2, too. wow - you've got skills!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710091 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:50:53 +0000 rae 710091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I understand, the suede dyes can only take a color from lighter to darker, unfortunately. You might be able to use a stripper first to remove the black, but I have not tried that yet, and I don't know for sure what it'd do on suede. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710090 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:49:36 +0000 texstyle 710090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great deep red - love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710086 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:41:55 +0000 Parsley 710086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, that red would be perfect!</p> <p>So does the suede/nubuck dye cover darker colors? I'm curious because I have a pair of black suede booties that I would love to change the color of, but I didn't know whether it was possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710083 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:36:31 +0000 rae 710083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thank you for the suggestions of reds and other trendy colors! I looked at a bunch of pictures, and here are some of the colors that attracted me. Right now I'm leaning toward #2 (as you all said, berry colors are trending hard) and #4, which is closest to my current capsule color range. </p> <p>Parsley, yes, they do make dyes specifically for nubuck and suede, so I would be using those and definitely not trying to add a shiny finish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710065 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:12:28 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 710065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was perusing a few fall trend lists yesterday and saw a lot of red and burgundy. I think burgundy would work well if you dye the jacket. I like the color it is though and think it works for you. It is much too deep and pretty to be soul sucking beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710060 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:09:00 +0000 Angie 710060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby crown you Queen Panel Printed Tee! You make them look so stylish, Rae </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710013 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 14:03:47 +0000 Parsley 710013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your panther!</p> <p>But, about that jacket... The fit looks great, but I don't love the color on you. I do think it blends too much with your skin. But how does it work to dye nubuck? The leather dyes I've seen so far have a glossy finish. What would that do on a nubuck jacket? Or are there different dyes out there for nubuck?</p> <p>If it's feasible, then I vote to dye it. What about a deep red? Sour olive sounds interesting, but I don't really know what color that is. Do you have a picture of the color you're talking about? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-710006 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:40:42 +0000 texstyle 710006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in #1 but that jacket - Wow! what a great fit and a great find. Your flea market skills ROCK. I also vote to dye it (if it's not too much trouble). I like the idea of a deep raspberry red. You could wear it as is for a while first to see if you really want to dye it of course as it looks great with your hair coloring and a bright shirt under it would brighten things up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709994 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:07:34 +0000 Anonymous 709994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cool! I vote to dye the jacket a fun color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709916 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 07:06:02 +0000 CocoLion 709916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pick the trendiest color for fall that you can think of and dye it that color. You've risked very little and it would be fun. I love all of the berry colors coming out and you would look great in those colors. What about blush pink? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709910 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 06:41:46 +0000 catgirl 709910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I love the panther print. F21 has all kinds of big cat shirts right now. I'd dye the leather jacket - I actually think a deep navy blue would look kind of cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709877 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 05:57:16 +0000 goldenpig 709877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fierce in #1! I love the fit of the jacket in #2. I feel the same way about wearing beige/camel (I used to love camel but now I realize it's too similar to my skin color). If you're going to dye it, I vote sour olive or cayenne red-orange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709872 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 05:53:47 +0000 fashionista 709872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that jacket. I am lately into mustard, olive green, military green and beige colors. Loved the fit of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709868 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 05:50:47 +0000 Deborah 709868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, cool t shirt! I like the jacket. I find the color really flattering as it contrasts beautifully with your hair and skin tone. It just looks 'right' on you in my opinion:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-graphic-panther-keepselldye-caslon-leather-jacket#post-709864 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 05:48:11 +0000 rae 709864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello out there in YLF land! I have not been getting enough YLF fix lately, and I miss lollygagging about at work and chatting with you about fashion all day long... :)</p> <p>#1 is not what I wore out to the swap meet and a movie today, but I just showed you that blue dress recently. Instead, this is what I wore tonight and another night this week. DH actually found this $5 F21 shirt for me at the flea market - a Christopher Kane knockoff, but I'm not worried about it all these years later, as someone who couldn't afford CK anyway. </p> <p>#2 is a $5 Caslon nubuck leather jacket I found at the flea market this morning. It feels pretty good on, kind of a Jennifer Aniston vibe with the BF jeans, but how is the color? On the one hand, it feels nice and rugged, and I like how it contrasts with my dark hair. On the other hand... is it too close to Soul Sucking Beige? It doesn't sell well on Ebay, so I'd only make a small amount off it. I could dye it, but I have no idea what color... sour olive? sporty yellow? denim blue? maybe a cayenne red-orange? </p>
