Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 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...

Gentleman of Fortune Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 also... Could it have been paint?
