Another consideration is where the savings on the lower priced options derive.
Traditional leather tanning uses organic compounds that used properly do not pollute the environment or harm the people tanning the leather. Organic compounds cost more to obtain. Implementation is more labor intensive and takes more time. Modern chemicals and methods are available. Most likely the leather in less expensive saddles come from modern factories. Leather tanning factories in China (source of almost all lower cost leather tanning) are notorious for the pollution they spew in a country where pollution is generally accepted. Who knows about the long term health of the workers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
