I have used a nail file to mat the fabric.  I also pluck the fur out in areas that would naturally wear.  Some tea stains dabbed on in the areas where the dye is so it looks well handled.  The file I just run over the fabric a few times in all directions.

I would use the 'tea staining' method as well... a lot of people have recommended it to me as well.
