I don't do this to Brooks very often but I have tightened Selle Anatomica a lot. For the older one, if you have put on a little Proofide, that's enough, since it's already cracked. On the SA I like to get the leather to make a smooth pair of straps from the cantle plate up to the front - smooth and supple but not tighter than that.
