What They Say...
Celebrating a friendship that transcends any distance—and a shared commitment to the principles of tradition, craftsmanship, and the lasting joy of journeys by bike, meet the B17 Special, Brooks x Blue Lug saddle. Created together with the team behind one of Tokyo’s most iconic bike shops, our new limited-edition leather saddle combines classic Brooks comfort with the signature style of Blue Lug.
Hand-built in our Smethwick factory, this specific B17 Special is available in three colours—Black, Brown, and Softened Dark Tan. All three feature chromed steel rails, colourful tensioning strings, and hand-hammered copper rivets, alongside a limited-edition side-stamp that signals a first for Brooks. Embossed in Kanji characters, the Blue Lug side-stamp simply states “name”; we invite you to add the only moniker that truly matters—yours. And for a final touch, each saddle ships with a vegetable-tanned leather triangular reflector inspired by one of Blue Lug’s most outstanding accessories.

Maintaining your Saddle will ensure that it becomes comfortable and durable. Proofide is the ONLY substance that should be used to care for your leather saddle. Carefully formulated from special ingredients to condition, preserve and showerproof, helping protect the leather supple and to keep it supple. With regular use, your saddle will adapt to your body and retain its beauty, comfort and support. A new saddle should be treated at least once to help to assist the ‘breaking-in’ process and protect the saddle against the elements. Never apply Proofide to a wet saddle. Apply a small amount of Proofide to the finished top side of the leather, allowing it to permeate until dry. Polish off completely with a soft cloth to avoid getting any residual Proofide on your clothes. Also apply Proofide to the underside of the saddle. Leave this coating on to protect against dirt and moisture. Proofide may be used several times during the ‘breaking-in’ period and periodically thereafter. Do not overuse. After the break-in period, it is normal and proper to tension the saddle to retain its shape and comfort. To tension the leather top, turn the nose bolt nut clockwise, 90° at a time, checking after each turn until the desired tension is reached. You can use this tension spanner or an Allen key.
