Darkening Leather

Recommended Posts

I wish to darken the colour of a vintage leather camera case. I was wondering which is the best product to use? I've read that Mink Oil or Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP. Which is the best of these two or is there an alternative you could recommend.

Many thanks.

It looks to be chrome tan, and I doubt that oiling or anything else will do anything to darken it.

I'd guess that it's actually reconstituted leather and if so the glue used to bind the leather fibres would likely prevent penetration of any oils or dyes.
