      think all the natty cxl pairs will just look dark brown or dirty depending at least from the one or two natty cxl items i have.

      the patina i admire most show on dark brown smooth type leathers.  you see the nice scuffs & they get lighter then you buff them out or shine them up & do it all over again.

      sorry i fell asleep, need images in here  😉 way too much text . . . .  will work on that in a few .  . .
