Dyeing your tan repro gear OD7 for late war/Korea guide

[USMC_COLLECTOR]

I just dyed one of my tan paki belts od7 so I could do late war and korea. Here's a step by step process on what I did.

 

Supplies needed

Camel Rit dye

Kelly Green Rit dye

Dark Brown Rit dye

Dark Green Rit dye

 

I did 1/2 cup of Carmel dye, 1/2 cup of Kelly Green dye or full packet of powder dye, 1/4 cup of Dark Brown dye, 8-10 cap fulls of Dark Green dye, and 1 cup of salt.

This solution all goes into 3 gallons of hot water, the hottest your bathtub faucet can go. I filled a 5 gallon bucket with 3 gallons and that leaves some good room. Stir for 10-15 minutes with your whole belt stirring in it. Unbutton every LTD fastener and snaps. Make sure to wear gloves and stir with a stick. Here are my results, I think it went pretty good for a first attempt.

If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

New note, salt not recommended as it started to rust some of the metal snaps.
