BROOKS have been in business for 150 years. That's what we call dedication.

Brooks had offered us this wonderful opportunity to collaborate. There's no reason to decline such an offer!

Introducing the "B17 FOR BLUE LUG" a special edition of Brooks classic model, B17 STANDARD.

Words from Mat, the designer of the special saddles below.

-------------------------------------

First thing you'll notice about these saddle is that there is a name column on the sides. The Japanese text "おなまえ" literally means "name".

You can put your name, family name or even your pets name on the saddle with a grinder tool, metal stamp, carving knife, etc...let the people know who owns the saddle!

Secondly, the leather material is applied inside out, making the batch code show on the surface of the saddle.

The "2B5" engraving shows the year and month of production. The numbers 2 and 5, in this case shows the year 2025.

The alphabet in the middle represents the month. "A" meaning January, the letters go up to "M" The letter "I" is excluded since it can be mistaken as the number one. In this case, the saddles were produced in February, since the letter in between the numbers are "B".

The number "2883", is the batch code of the leather. We can now appreciate these saddles even more when we get off the bike and look at these codes.

These saddles have holes on the sides and comes with strings to lace up through those holes, making it easier to keep the saddles in shape.

Chrome plated railings. The recent B17 STANDARD has black rails, but Brooks saddles rails has to be chrome plated for me.

Lastly, every one who have purchased these saddles, will get a free Brooks x Blue Lug triangle reflector in the box!

The special reflectors are made with leather backing that are the same color as the saddle.

Hope you like them!
