After discovering remnants of lost leather in the far reaches of its factory, Brooks decided to conjure up a limited run of bespoke saddles apply called Unearthed.
“During what proved to be a long-overdue tidy-up of the Brooks England factory in Smethwick, we uncovered a proper hoard of valuable goods. No, not J.B. Brooks’ fabled hidden stash of bullion, something far more interesting: a cache of leather saddle tops in various colors. These pieces were – for whatever reason – waylaid on their path through our finishing process,” says Brooks.
“They remained incomplete, and were forgotten about. Until now. As a colorful alternative to the dreary monochrome of Black Friday, we turned those leather tops into the saddles they were always destined to be. This Unearthed capsule collection is offered in limited numbers, and only on the models the tops were originally cut for. This leather is exceedingly rare and unrepeatable. No more saddles can be produced than the tops that were found. Exclusivity not by design, but by discovery,” adds the British brand.
The Unearthed collection spans the iconic B17, the Team Pro Special, the Swift narrow and the B67 Special Short, which sell for a hefty £330.
