Any off the shelf product that would darken the color of leather by just a little bit?

I am not trying to change the color from green to brown, but making it slightly darker into a slightly darker shade of green. Nothing dramatic.

Mink oil.

If you take a shoe buffing sponge (pre-oiled) and lightly apply the oil it will darken after a couple of applications.

That dye may react differently than leather that’s tanned. Maybe try a small test spot on the underside of the buckle to avoid a disappointing result.

Dr. J’a leather care. I have several Mauser straps from Micah. When you order a Mauser, he would include a small tub or Dr. J’s leather care. After application, the leather strap will darken.

That depends on the kind of leather. If it is vegetable tanned, most conditioners will darken it. Mink Oil, Saphir reno etc. Definitely test the product in an inconspicuous part of the strap.
