Raiders Holster color
My Lee Kepler Raiders Holster is extremely accurate. I am very, very pleased with it in every way except for the shade of color. Since I don't have the heart that Rabbittoth has (to draw on it with a pen among other things), how can I, as naturally as possible, darken it up so it is more screen accurate. I don't want to draw on it or dye it, but will sunlight or shoe polish work? Thanks for your help.
I just used 'chocolate' colored leather polish on mine and I will tell you this: a little goes a long way! Put very, very little on the rollerand spread it evenly. I goofed slightly on mine and it's a LITTLE to dark for my personal tastes. I am now looking for a way to lighten the color up a tad. Any ideas? Anyone?

Re: Raiders Holster color
I only used a dark brown marker on the white stitching to make it blend better. I never used a pen of any kind on the leather.Magnum wrote:...Since I don't have the heart that Rabbittoth has (to draw on it with a pen among other things)...

I gave mine several coats of Pecards. Then, this weekend past, I left it out in the sun for a day and a half. It darkened up beautifully. I'm gonna give it another coating of leather dressing and sun it some more, but if you're looking for a natural color change, this is the way to go.
Best of luck.
