I've had Brooks tape on my Bob Brown custom bike since I received it in the Fall of 2007. It has held up very well. To the best of my recollection, I don't think I have ever done anything to treat it - though I may have smeared some Brooks Proofide on it at one time. I don't know if the quality of the tape has changed over the years, but I think that the tape that I installed was not stitched together. Whatever the case, I have been very happy with this product.
