When I made my sporran belt, I had the same problem of dye rubbing off. So I polished it with "neutral" shoe polish I got at the local shoe repair. This stuff looks like regular shoe polish (comes in a tin), but it has no coloring added to it. I figured it might have a better chance of not staining my kilt. No problems after 3 or 4 weeks of wear. I'm glad to hear that polish is the recommended solution.
