The holster comes in that deep, chocolate brown. This is fine, if ToD is your desired look. Here's how to give it the "Raiders" look. With a fine sandpaper strip off the finish down to the bare, 'tan' leather. This is easier to do than you might think. DON'T SAND TOO HARD OVER THE STITCHES!!! You'll cut through them. Next, give it a good dose of your prefered leather conditioner to sooth the trauma you've just put it through. Finally, I rubbed a bit of water based acrylic brown paint into the leather to get it a bit darker. That's a matter of taste; the conditioning darkens it quite a bit. Hope this helps some one!
