I'm currently sewing up a hunting frock and leggings out of brain tanned elk (smoked). The hides are naturally distressed and have a nice variation in texture and pattern. The color is the typical cream.
I'd like to darken the hides just a bit to give it a more aged look and help the textures and patterns stand out just a bit more. Not wanting to take it to a brown color, just a richer cream towards the tan side. (hope I'm making sense).
Looking for advice on how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance.
