Good point. Brooks people do tend to generally angle their saddle nose up more than is usual.

Sometimes even to the point of looking odd.

This is simply because the hard leather is more slippery than other materials and you might tend to slip forward on the saddle. Your butt and legs are always moving and so slippery is good.

However, some people are apparently built so that they would have to angle it up so high that it is uncomfortable in other, more naughty, ways. Seems like you either love the saddle type or hate it.
