Hand-hammered rivets and special finishes characterize the B17 Special Saddle. Like all of our leather saddles~ each beautiful B17 Special emerges by hand from our Smethwick~ England factory where it has been carefully finished with hand-hammered copper rivets to add life to the saddle by protecting the durable vegetable tanned leather. A comfortable bike seat thanks to its unique design and hammock-like performance~ the B17 Special flexes with every pedal stroke and will mold specifically to each rider~ achieving a lovely patina over time. Durable Vegetable Tanned Leather: Saddles are made from a 5mm thickness of premium vegetable tanned leather for lifelong durability. Shapes Over Time: Leather naturally molds to the unique shape of the rider for a more comfortable ride. Lasting Comfort & Breathability: Leather provides natural breathability and a suspended molded seat for tailored lasting comfort. Extended 10-Year Guarantee: Brooks offers an extended 10-year guarantee on all leather saddles. Handcrafted Since 1866: Brooks has been crafting iconic leather saddles for over 150 years. Pre-Treated~ Shorter Break-In: Softened leather means less time before the saddle is broken-in and swifter comfort for riders.
