How to care for your leather saddle
Your new leather saddle should be treated with Brooks Proofide Saddle Dressing to help assist the “breaking-in” process. This Proofide also helps to keep the leather supple as it is carefully formulated to condition, preserve and shower-proof your saddle. Brooks Proofide is the only substance that should be used to take care of your Brooks saddle.
