Today there is extra 40% off listed prices on some of the Brooks stuff. Seems like a deep discount to me. For example, the Criterion Jacket {MSPR $1400) was listed at $999.95, but with a coupon (I get them sent to my email) it's $599.97. STP has had Brooks stuff for awhile.
I won't use any other saddle than a Brooks,and have for the last 20 years. but their accessories are just plain daft.

Jaa, that and hipsters buying their saddles. I remember in the mid-1990s going to different shops buying them for really cheap because no one wanted them and there was no hope of selling them.
