Marty, as I've advised before (on Dec.24 see archives under "Brooks saddles"):
"Richard, As I have advised before: http://www.leatherique.com As recommended by The Ferrari Club of America. "Rejuvenator Oil. It works. Used by me on my 67' Ferrari and Brooks that are old and too hard. Use sparingly." Use profide after as a sealer to keep out unwanted H2O that will dry out your saddle even more. Your just moisturizing the saddle and then sealing it in and the water out. enjoy, John T.Pergolizzi N.Y.C., New York But not for long.
Snip: "but it seams impossible to make any softer. I 've tried Brooks Proofide several times but have had little results. Any advice at making this saddle/leather softer." >
