“Many kinds of leather would be utterly unsuitable for saddles, and of the correct kind, very great care has to be exercised to select skins suitable for Brooks Tops.” So we wrote in 1925 and keep doing at Brooks, although leather stiffness varies slightly from hide to hide. For high mileage cyclists who demand more from their saddles, we select the toughest hides, sourced from cattle raised at a natural pace on certified organic farms. All Select Saddles feature hand hammered copper rivets.
