Fujita Belt seats are excellent.They may be an exact copy of the Brooks B-17 but the leather is thicker,according to my micrometer. They sell on e-bay for a fraction of the Brooks and are identical. Trim them for the Swallow racing look and your Anglophile snobby friends wont even know its a Fujita Belt. Art-lovedatleather-Link.San Antonio,TX

Fuji (or was it Fujitoshi) made leather saddles very similar to Brooks. My sister has one, and I may get a chance to take a look at it this weekend. I'll let you know all of what it says on there some time within a week, hopefully.
