Greetings freinds, I have had a question posed to me concerning red morroccan leather from the American Civil War. One of the local units is wanting to portray Kansas Red-Legs. Any info on what may have been used to dye the leggins red? Preferably something that isn't likely to bleed onto their trousers. I would assume that the leather was either goat or sheep, but haven't got a clue as to what may have been used for red dye. Much obliged... Bo
