As for proof that water and leather don't mix well, just see what happens if you get a pair of leather shoes wet! If they aren't treated properly and protected they will eventually rot. Common knowledge!
Bit like asking me for proof that the earth is round! Or that gravity exists!

I can only think that you don't have a Brooks or if you do it won't last long!
