Thanks for your comment.  I do have experience with dying leathers and so
on, but lack the materials right now.  I might leave it "as is," at least
temporarily, but I think in the long run I will be dyeing the garment.  If
it were a full shirt I'd get help, but it's more of a small vest and I think
easy to handle at home, no seams or other tricky bits.
