For me, I seek Brooks saddles with the vintage (two digit year) stamped into the metal frame. The newer models, those marked on the leather, do little to blow my kilt up. Though I have little proof, I feel that the quality of the leather stamped offerings are less, in the quality department, than the Old School metal stamped ones. Does anyone know when Brooks went from metal stamped information to leather dyed? Thanks.
