All of the swell leather care products will keep your seats clean, soft and supple, etc., but once you start wearing the finish off, i.e.,the abrasion problem, about all you can do is dye the leather back to it's original (hopefully) color.
Shoe dye is one option, although I'm sure there are others. Be very careful if you go the dye route, as you can easily end up with a bigger mess than you started with. If you have black seats, a little black shoe polish used sparingly in the appropriate place can work wonders, although you might want to henceforth wear black pants most of the time.
The question at some point is, should the seats on a car with 60,000 miles on it look the same as the the seats on one that has 10,000 miles? In the antiques trade a little wear I believe is called "patina", a quality much appreciated by European car collectors. On this side of the pond we seem to prefer the as-new look, regardless of age.
