Removing scuffs from Filson Field Satchel?

[compfi]

Hi all...

I've got a Filson Field Satchel, which is made of Bridle Leather.

It's got a few scuffs from my travels and I'm just wondering the best way to fix/remove/cover the scuffs.

Shoe polish doesn't seem right to me because it would likely rub off onto my clothes when carrying the bag.

Would a shoe creme work?

Thanks!

Here's a picture:

I'd probably use shoe cream. Just rub it in and be sure to buff it off completely. I've used it on belts and never had a problem with it coming off on anything once it's been buffed well.

I use neutral shoe cream on mine. Applying the cream doesn't completely eliminate scuffs but it reduces their appearance some. Sometimes I run through the application/shining process twice, which seems to help. But, this case wasn't intended to be a perfect, glossy scuff-free case though, I don't think. The leather seems to attract scuffs easily.

Thanks. I'll give the neutral shoe cream a try.

I wish I could get that bag with nickel hardware.

I don't know about the nickel hardware (I think it would look better as well), but as soon as I work through some of the scuffs, I'm selling the bag. I'll post on the Buying and Selling forum once I'm ready.

I'm just finishing a PhD in finance and bought it for flying around to all my interviews and for a potential academic career. I'm going to Wall Street instead so I don't think I"ll need it anymore. The thing is so close to being new (four months old and been on four or five round trip flights and that's it), but it has a few scuff marks that I want to take care of before selling.
