Hmm, Ive rubbed it down with quite abit of oil. Maybe Ill just leave it as is. What should I treat it with to make it not dry out?

Rubbed it down with some neatsfoot oil a couple times and it has been setting in the sun a couple days. It has darkened just a hair. I am thinking about trying the coffee trick. Should I dunk the whole belt and holster completely in coffee, or just wipe it on with a sponge. Also, after the coffee is applied, do I wipe it off, let completely dry, then apply neatsfootoil, or dip it and let the coffee dry itself? Also, If I plan to distress the rig a bit should I do it now, or after the coffee job? Thanks for all the help, Jared

Would some darkening oil work if I cannot get it to get darker with the above methods?

I recently purchased this holster and gun belt set up. I know, I know, I want to make one sometime, but this was cheap and will serve the purpose for the time being. I am not very happy with the color it came in. I was wondering if it would be possible to darken this rig? If so, how? Also, any ideas for any custom touches to add to spruce it up? Ive seen some with brass studs and the like. Where can I get stuff like that? Below are a couple attached pics of my holster and belt, and a pic of one that is the color I would like to achieve. Thanks, Jared And, I would like to get them this color--vvvvvvv
