I brought home a Brooks that is still soft but it is warped. I think the frame it was on was leaned up on some thing or upside down a storage unit for years. I reshaped it with my thumbs and it looks a lot better. I got to thinking though.. I had just about to throw out a trashed saddle out that the plastic and foam had delaminated from the plastic structure. The hard plastic is a very close match to a Brooks and I think that if I cut off the rails and split it in half I think I can get it under the Brooks leather with a bit of trimming. I'm a little hesitant to soak the saddle in water, but know that you can use alcohol to soften shoe leather temporarily in in more of a localized treatment, IE makeing room for little toes that were broken a few to many times...
