FWIW: I dubbin'd the similar beige leather on my 2 new Treetop bags and this darkens it just right to make the color even more complementary, IMO. Very pretty bags. (I usually apply dubbin or mink oil to new leather; I also contact-cement a little leather pad over the rivet for the seatpost strap buckle, so as not to scuff my nice Dura Ace seatposts.)
