Best Way To Darken Aldens...

Thought this would be the best place to ask. I have been out of the game for a while. It is nice to see all kind of Indiana Jones fans around. I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I even see that you can order a Wested jacket online through their website now. I remember calling them numerous time (around 10 years ago) to give them the measurements for my jacket. Anyways, I will get to the point.

I was visiting my parents the other day and they asked me if I wanted those boots in the basement. They found them in a box... Then I remembered that I actually owned a pair of Aldens at one time! From what I have read they came in numerous colours. I have posted a link so you guys will get an idea if the colour.

I was considering taking them in to get dyed dark brown. Or maybe I should just use some polish. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andrew

Same way you do with all other leather products, wear them every day in all kinds of weather.

Don't let the dog chew them up, that's for sure! :lol:

They look like a great color already (dark redish/brick) Ware them around and maybe use the brown pecards on them after they've seen some ware.
I've found regular shoe polish doesn't work that well. It just rubs off.

I know there was another thread about the some what recently also. Almost the exact same title also if I remember correctly.
