A quality product that is aesthetically pleasing and a good value always has the potential to become trendy. Brooks are pretty trendy right now, but they are very good saddles that get better with time.

For anyone that's played baseball, it's like comparing a new, high-tech superglove to the old leather glove that you've had for ten years, that has been perfectly formed to your hand and fits like...well, a glove. The superglove may be just as good or even a million times better, but there will always be that attraction to the broken-in down to earth glove.
