For myself (and many others) they are comfortable right out of the box(ymmv). They have also addressed many of the shortcomings of the Brooks saddle ( longer saddle rails,and much improved water resistant among others ).
MADE in USA. AND THEY ARE ON SALE (SEE my just opened thread in this subforum)
+1 to all that for the Selle Anatomica Titanico, and they come in some nice colors too! They say their "watershed leather" is waterproof, although I ride regularly in the rain I'm lucky enough to be able to park it under cover at both ends of my commute, so I haven't torture tested it by leaving it out in the rain. Although I always have a plastic bag in my saddlebag, so I doubt I'd do that anyway. It shows no ill effects from getting wet the bit it does on my commute.
