Quite right asiamiles. But rather than darkens it, it really just returns the color to its previous state until the pecards is absorbed after a few months. Anyway, this is what I've observed, YMMV. Cheers!
I applied it very sparingly to the faded/worn areas and it slightly darkened and blended it with the surrounding leather. Bear in mind that this is only a temporary fix; two or three months down the road and it had returned to its slightly faded appearance after the Pecards had been absorbed...

Bills Khaki's look cool with an A2 or B3. High rise with watch pocket, similar to WWII khaki's,
