Just sharing Lon's blogpost for those with an open mind.
A leather saddle does not have to look like a hammock to be comfortable. This is a Brooks Pro that I used for 30 years. It has some very shallow indentations, but it does not look like some leather saddles that I've seen.
I quit using Mink Oil on my work boots because it made the leather too soft. Snow seal is more leathr friendly.
Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see what one of your leather saddles looks like.
