Hi
I have just bought 60 goat skins plant tanned for my first tent.

The leather is excellent. Very light and thin ... and very strong .. like nylon raincoat. I am very satisfied... but I have now a small problem. As you know goats leather is white ..
How to make it more in brown color ??
Oiling will make it darker but will not change into brown

Can anyone help me in this matter ?
I asked archeologists-friends to make wood tar for me .. but it cost fortune. About $100 per 200 ml. Sad
