Re: [RBW] Stubborn Brooks Saddle

Curious what leather dressing you used?   I've only used neats foot oil and
proofide and never failed.
I would think regardless of what you used, that the miles should have done
it.

[RBW] Stubborn Brooks Saddle

[Lynn Haas]

I have a honey colored Brooks Imperial saddle that I bought in 2018. It has 
about 2,000 miles on it, and it looks and feels like new... in the worst 
possible way.

I've doused it in leather dressing, stored it in a hot garage for a summer, 
and put way more miles on it than I want to contemplate. It's had decent 
exposure to rain and more than enough heat and sweat. Today I'm going to 
swap back to an older Brooks that is nicely broken in, but that I don't 
want to use long term for multiple reasons.

What to do?
