Recommendation? "Raw" Back-Pocket Holster

[hughd]

Recently picked up a new "raw" leather holster that I would like to darken and protect. What are some of my options outside of dye and Resolene?

There is a thread in this forum titled Neatsfoot Oil. There is a tutorial in there on how to properly "tan" leather using neatsfoot oil and heat and/or Sun.
I simply set the leather on my BBQ outside in sun after applying the oil, it normally takes a few runs, but it works well.

Thank you, I'll check out the thread.
