As admirable as your intentions may be, you are asking for material traceability similar to that required for critical parts (military, aircraft, etc.). Commercial products simply aren't costly enough to support that level of documentation. Rough guess is you're looking at $300 for a B-17, assuming you could get a system in place.

I think it would be cost prohibitive considering how expensive Brooks saddles have gotten in the last couple years.

Essentially, a line of saddles where you can trace back the origin of the cow hide and determine what the treatment of the animals was like. I'm not interested in discussing the merits of leather or not, or of using animal hides or not, I'm just curious if Brooks has anything like this or if anyone has approached them about it.
