Hi: I guess I warn againits it. If you are saving about $225 US, then you are getting a quality jacket. Unless you take this to some place that professional dye's things I leave it as is. Rememberr that the fabric used in jackets is often dyed when is is spun and not after it is made in to fabric. I've tried dying wool and it's neve come out as desired. Dyeing cotton and dying wool with the same product give very diffent results. Remeber wool is always slighly water resistant and may have natural oil in it. If you want to test it find a simularly colored wool jacket at a thrift store and test dye that.
