If you are in the position that you can use it quite a bit and have some patience it will darken fairly rapidly. My delCarpio has really aged well in the months I have had it. I also sometimes leave it out in the sun while I do yard work (that way it is close by if I need a whip break).

I have had good luck with just polishing them with kiwi brown polish. As the boots get more scuffed the polish seems to stick better. I have even used black polish in between brown treatments and it looks pretty cool especially after some wear.

Terry just sent a pic of my 10'. The leather in this current batch is a bit darker than others and was quick to absorb the plaiting soap. The knots came out light but I am sure with some wear it will look great.
