Being that I restore Vintage British bicycles Brooks is synonymous with these machines. Most of them came with them from the factory as Brooks was a subsidiary of Raleigh. But the sheer quality and durability of these saddles is legendary. Whilst quality was a passing issue through the late 60's into the seventies, with misaligned tags, and loose rivets all of these issues have long been remedied. The quality of the saddles today is perfection and there is no equal in the industry. They are still hand made by highly skilled workers, fine materials go into the construction, and if you take care of the leather and ONLY tension the saddle when it properly needs it it should last at least 30 years.
They are the best saddle made in the world period. The imperial cut outs do relive some pressure, and I have had NONE of the issues of the sides of the cutout being uncomfortable or feeling them flex whilst riding. I would recommend to tighten the lace in the saddle sides. I will personally use NO other saddle than an imperial. They feel great, break in much faster than others, and the lace and cut outs look great. If you have ANY numbness whilst cycling try one of these saddles.

Beware! what shows on the product description, a B68 MEN'S saddle, becomes a B68S, a WOman's saddle, when it goes in your cart. If you don't catch it then, you get the wrong thing; fact is, it doesn't appear you can get the right thing, as this always happens.
