If I may add, for my black to very dark leather straps, while still new I coat them with Wilson's leather balm (I think though Wilson's Leather closed down September 2008 or thereabouts) and then follow-up once in a while with Turtle Wax leather conditioner...just very thin coats. Like what Oscar said in his related posting, this will resist dirt and in my experience, makes them last longer.

I don't do this though to my tan/cognac/lighter-colored straps because they may darken. Hoping this helps.
