How do I darken/age leather without making a mess that will rub off, or dirty clothing and furniture, or weaken the material?

This is not for a coat, BTW, this is for some leather trimming on a repro WWII shoulder bag.

Thanks!

Here is how I darkened my holster some time ago;

You could even buy leather coloring stuff and do it that way with good result.
Mine turned out great after taking the Zippo to it.

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for this info too... My jacket & Aldens were looking a bit off colour after some distressing...
