        Yo Beats, that patch might like some sort of oil. I forgot to oil it…

            Oh, OGL does red leather now too? And already I got a plan in my head. Great pick-up!

              Actually that bag is a while ago in the OGL webshop, but the photos they show do not make it any justice at all. It is a beauty!
              Ill try to post more pics this weekend. If the hangover let me  😉

                                you don´t oil a belt/patch or whatever to make it look good imo…the "look good" factor comes with wear and with wear only imo. you only need to oil your leathers when you have the feeling that they are too dry and may crack.
                                o/course oil/wax or other conditioners and also tanning your natural leathers in the sun may help a bit on darkening the leather but the real evo comes only with wear...

                                      I just couldnt stand looking at the belt in that color.  It made me feel like i was wearing a pink belt or something.  But  what u said finn makes sense.  I will leave my patch alone a let it develop on its own..Thanks for the heads up

                                        To be honest with u I didnt even know the natural color would age ..I mean i know it would have got worn in and dirty but would it naturally darken other than it accumulating dirt?
