I didnt read this here so I will try to condense it: Put a very wet wash cloth on a new Brooks saddle near the rear most section where most of your weight will be, and leave it that way for a couple hours. Then knead the area where your sit bones will rest. Then go ride it for an hour or two. Repeat this process for the next few rides. Then when the saddle fits your anatomy stop and rub the surface with #000 steel wool till it starts to turn white, and put on leather dye. Then repeat a couple times leaving the last coat on overnight. Then rub in paste saddle soap. Then treat the underside with non hardening snow seal and a blow dryer to spread it. They claim the saddle is formed to begin with by using water and that oils and proofide will continue to migrate through the saddle causing the horn to become flaired out and causing chaffing. What do ya think? I have a new B17 narrow waiting for me.
