Is there any thing i can do to lighten them up.
Welcome to the joys of King Ranch (Castano) leather care!

Do a search in these forums. The "dark" stain is dirt and sweat or skin oils. Castano leather absorbs it like a sponge and it darkens it. You CAN clean it though.

Search on the words "spa treatment" for the favorite method. Personally though, I just use saddle soap and then recoat the leather with Tandy's Satin Shene. You can search on "satin shene" for this.

And, there are other approaches. Have fun!
