I have heard different things from different "experts". Some say the leather is not the same as in the olden days. Some say the leather quality is different on different models. Some say the leather does not differ between models. So there is different info going around. Hard to get to the bottom of it.
I did get confirmation from Brooks that misaligned rivets, crooked Brooks name plates, crooked adjuster bolt, and crooked noses, different height Springs, are part of the handmade process and do not cause a problem for functionality . Maybe I will email them again and see if I get an answer on the leather. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
