I’ve had this B17 a good while and have managed to get the leather into a reasonably healthy state with some careful cleaning and proofide treatment. However, I couldn’t get the sides of the seat to stop splaying out which made it look quite ugly on a bike.
I’ve taken inspiration from Brooks themselves and purchased a punch to make a series of holes 10mm apart along the lower lip of the saddle:
I managed to find a suitable bootlace to thread through the holes and pull it tight to get the sides back in shape.
It’s come out pretty neat all things considered and I reckon good enough to use on my Claud Butler.
Looking good.
