Had to choose between a thrift store jacket or cutting up my dad's old leather coat for a cosplay
Honestly, I needed a specific bomber jacket for a character and the thrift store one was $15 but the wrong color, while my dad's old coat was perfect but, you know, sentimental. I picked the thrift store one and spent 3 hours with fabric dye trying to fix it, and now it's a weird splotchy mess. Tbh, should I have just asked to cut up the coat or is there a better way to dye cheap pleather?

Should have just asked about the coat. That dye job sounds like a lost cause.

But murray.betty, what if the dye job was the fun part they wanted to share?

Check if your dad would have been cool with it first. Dyeing pleather is super tricky, it never takes color evenly.
