Re: Should I Scratch the scotchgrain itch?
I've found you can darken colour if you use a cream. Seems to have stayed darker on a pair I have. After using the cream a couple of times I now just use a polish. Of course you might want to try it on an old pair first but it worked for me Beester.

Re: Should I Scratch the scotchgrain itch?
Correct, but that's also true for every Alt Wien shoes I've ever seen. For me grained leathers need a rather blobby last, otherweise you're better off with a hatch or pin grain leather, which I find better suited to elegant lasts.

Re: Should I Scratch the scotchgrain itch?
I think the problem is the tan itself. It lacks the rich antique patina you get with deeper and darker browns.
