I like the way Tenjin products age.

That really is something. Reminds me of a light brown Saddleback Leather wallet I have that aged to a dark, dark shine from a matt light brown ,which I love. The only natural leather I've had is a slipcase for my Surface. Ages really nicely; a couple of water stain from a drip that got on it, but doesn't look bad. The one thing I'd be wary of would be grey dirt build-up in the "really aged" picture that Superfluous put up, but I imagine that could be addressed with a decent, professional leather clean?
Denham offered the Danilo leather jacket in 2013. It's made from a vegetable tanned leather, but it looks like it's got a bit more colour than the other pieces in this thread, so it might have been dyed.
I've never seen a worn-in example, in fact there's precious little information on the web about it, other than a posting at Google Plus, and a photo in an article at Rawr Denim / Heddels.
I found one at the Denham store in Amsterdam, and it was a nice piece. The pocket bags and buttons are leather. Unfortunately it didn't fit, I was a bit fatter back then.
Jings, that's leather? Looked like drill cotton to my eyes in the photo. Nice design.
