The B17 Narrow Imperial features a perineal pressure-releiving cut out first designed by Brooks in 1890. The Imperial series of saddles feature perforations on the lower edges of the saddle and leather cord to tie it. Tying saddles was commonplace in their heyday to get the most customization possible. Most people are hesitant to punch holes in their Brooks saddles so Brooks took the initiative and did it for you correctly! Available in Black, Honey or Antique Brown leather.
