Probably the only one I have worth posting about. It's a Brooks Flyer Special in Honey. I was reluctant to spend so much on a leather saddle having never tried one out, and hearing horror stories online about how 500 miles of pain filled break-in time was normal before they would become comfortable... I'm glad I did though! Lucky for me I found mine to be pretty damn comfy right out of the box, and it's only gotten better over time! I'd really like to eventually get a Brooks for each of my bikes, but with their prices that's going to take me a while lol.

That’s not a saddle, THIS is a saddle. Oh no, wait, maybe it’s just a mailbox? 😁😉

Since I seem to have derailed this thread, maybe I can resurrect it too? This one has a couple small holes on the surface vinyl, but has a really nice feel to it. I never heard of the Hovercraft Line before, and a Google turned up nothing. 🤔

My butt loves the old, and reasonably priced Concor Confort saddles:
Here's another surprisingly comfy saddle, the Campagnolo Electra with the pneumatic bladder (although this bladder has perished):
