NOTE: Leather Saddles are a Luxury, Relationship, and a Responsibility. The Seat will come real hard and will break in and shape to your body over time with use. You'll need to make sure you oil your saddle when it needs it, otherwise it'll dry out, crack and become worthless. I would follow Brooks Care Recommendations because Brooks is vegetable tanned and old leather working techniques are not recommended. A Leather Saddle is an investment and is not for one who wants a care free seat that can be left in the rain. You can't avoid getting caught in the rain ( it will happen) but with good care it will last and be a saddle you love.
