Default black color faded on leather seats, any recommendations on fix?

Hey guys anyone have any good suggestions on how to fix a faded out leather seat on my STR? The drivers side seat has a small area that the black color has faded out on, and I wanted to find some kind of dye or something; to color it black to get it looking better.

Talk to the service manager at your local Jag dealer and find out who does leather repair for the dealership. My dog slit the rear seat in one of my Jags , and, the repair guy patched it and resprayed the dye on the leather. The repair was invisible when he got done.

Leather naturally is a tan color; its color to the eye is part stain, part paint. Have a word with your local leather man (I don't mean those of a different orientation here!) for the best way to renovate your seat. He might sell you some of the appropriate stuff. There must be a renovation 'kit' available from somewhere, after all, black leather is very common.
