Not for a roman project. But I have a pair of black leather riding boots that I need brown. I spoke with the people where I buy my leather from, and they said I'll need to remove the glaze with a chemical, then the black dye with a chemical, then re-dye it with brown.

Would lightly sanding the leather, then many coats of mid-brown shoe polish cover the black? Or do I have to go with the afore mentioned chemical route?
