Simon Firth has been working on bicycles for 30 years, but his journey into Brooks saddle repairs began in April 2010, when he travelled to our factory in Birmingham to learn the art from our veteran riveters.
“People get very attached to their Brooks saddles,” Simon explains. “They run the leather in, they get it to fit them, and they want to keep the saddle going.”
It’s an attachment he clearly understands. After all, a Brooks saddle is made to be ridden, lived with and looked after. And sometimes, all it needs is a little care to keep its story going.

Brooks X Woods ‘Moss Green’ B17 specials!
What an absolute honour it is to have a collaboration with such an historic maker as Brooks!
We wanted our saddle to be earthy, foresty, a colour that would go with most bikes.
We’re really happy with the soft Moss Green we landed on with hand hammered copper rivet’s and silver rails.
These are very limited in numbers, so grab one fast!

Our first ever @bespoked.cc in Japan, and what a way to make an entrance.
The G-Lion Museum provided a rather spectacular setting for the occasion, bringing plenty of character to a show that exceeded all expectations. From the moment the doors opened in the morning until the last visitors drifted out just before closing, the place was full of people, beautiful bicycles and an infectious enthusiasm for handmade craftsmanship.
We brought Simon Firth from @transportcycles along once again, ready to lend a hand with any Brooks leather saddles in need of some attention. As it turned out, he had another trick up his sleeve. Simon spent much of the weekend riveting leather keychains, giving visitors the chance to take home a little piece of Brooks England craftsmanship. Each one made with our leather and finished with copper rivets, straight from the factory floor in Birmingham to Japan.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared a story, brought along a saddle or simply showed us some love. The welcome we received in Japan was truly something special, and we’re already looking forward to coming back next year.

Some colours carry more than just a name.
British Racing Green has long been associated with British motor racing, and with a certain attitude towards competition: rakish, understated, and never too concerned with coming first.
It is this spirit that inspired our new British Racing Green collection. A short-run collection of leather products, finished in one of Britain’s most recognisable colours.
Launching 30 September.

Our new British Racing Green collection sees three of our classic products rendered in the evocative, dark green hue.
Inspired by the charm and corinthian spirit of British motor racers in the first part of the 20th century, this capsule expresses what we at Brooks love most about that period of history.
No other shade can hold a candle to ‘BRG’ when it comes to associations with rakish charm and the performance mindset (although this latter must never be prioritised to the detriment of cutting a dash). No specific tone has ever been defined for British Racing Green: you will find it on no Pantone chart and there is disagreement about which hex-code best approximates it.
What is agreed upon is that it is a lustrous, dark green shade – probably first used as a nod to the verdant tones of the island of Ireland. When dyed onto high-grade vegetable-tanned leather, the impact is immediate and obvious: timeless appeal, steeped in British heritage.
Featured in the capsule: The B17 is a perennial favourite for its comfort as much as its perennial class. The Challenge saddle bag provides a cyclist with all the room they need for a mid-ride pitstop. The Slender leather grips bring hardy and handsome appeal to any straight-barred bicycle.

British Racing Green is a shade with a colourful past. A tone that invokes a period of time and an attitude, as much as a specific set of pigments.
From the early 1900s to the 1960s, the colour green was inextricably linked to British motor racing – and, to the rakish, debonair charm of its proponents. You see, Britain was never much of a force in the sport of driving very quickly. We grabbed a few wins here and there, but never dominated the field. This is perhaps best exemplified by the career of Stirling Moss.
In 2020, just after Moss passed away aged 90, Martin Jacques wrote for The Guardian about his boyhood idol:
“Moss was the inveterate underdog, the most gifted driver in a below-par car. […] It was as if he liked and needed a handicap. Winning was not everything.”
For Brooks, it is this last idea that resonates the loudest. The days of a Brooks leather saddle being used in the Tour de France are long since past, but the days of their unmatched style and comfort continue.
This is the meaning behind ‘second place, first class’ and this is what inspired us to produce a short-run collection of British Racing Green leather products, available from 30 September.

It’s always a pleasure to be at Bespoked and this year’s Dresden show was no exception.
From the remarkable setting to the magnificent machines brought by more than 100 exhibitors, the weekend is an opportunity to recharge one’s passion for handmade, beautiful bicycles.
There’s just one more Bespoked event this year and if you’re in Japan you can count on meeting us at Osaka next month. Tickets are available now for the show at the GLION Museum (23-25 October) via @bespoked.cc.
On the Brooks stand we’ll be welcoming Simon Firth once again – so bring your Brooks leather saddle tops in need of repair along and get them fixed up by a master craftsman.

The young whippersnappers at Achielle are turning 80 this year… they’ve created this beautiful bicycle to commemorate the moment.
Along with a strictly limited run of 46 bikes, gold-leaf lettering and each frame individually-numbered, there’s something else that makes the edition special: a Brooks leather saddle.
Achielle said, “As Brooks England is the natural choice on Achielle bicycles, the Otis Ltd1946 is of course also fitted with a Brooks England saddle and matching grips. We deliberately chose leather, as we wanted to create the right balance between old and new, combining timeless materials with modern details.”
Here’s to another 80 years of Achielle!

“If leather can carry the marks of time, why can’t it carry stories as well?”
How did Moon Face Dragon Temple come to tattoo individual designs on B17 leather tops, for an exhibition at at nabiis cycles and coffee in Taipei?

Day one of @made.bike was a real hoot, as it always proves to be.
We spent it hanging out at the Brooks booth (with occasional forays to check out what everybody else brought), chatting to friends, fans and family of the company.
Our dear buddy Taylor from @rolypolycoffeeco is becoming a firm fixture on the Brooks stand while the inimitable Simon from @transportcycles has been doing repairs on some of the more beleaguered Brooks models brought in by show attendees
It has been a delight meeting each and every one of you who has swung by so far. Our team was especially impressed by the gent who sourced a titanium-railed B17 on a popular online auction website, specifically with the aim of having it fixed up by Simon. If you too own a Brooks saddle in need of TLC, swing by the booth before the end of the show.
A special thanks to @jobigsky for capturing these photos.

Our man from Philly, Simon from @transportcycles, will be joining us in Portland to hammer some new rivets into your saddle.
And don’t worry, if you’ve got a more complex issue, Simon will take care of it back at his workshop.
