I cannot verify this, but I read (on the internet) that the Regal saddle was modeled after the Brooks Team Professional (which I have never tried).
Anyhow, the Regal is nicely made and thinly padded with a vintage shape that's not unlike a narrow Brooks. I'd say that padded cycling shorts are essential for me with this saddle and that's what I had planned for from the outset so no disadvantage there. It is a very firm saddle but very supportive for me. I did have some sit bone tenderness after my initial 35 mile ride, but that's not surprising to me since I haven't been riding much at all. I picked the Regal because my Public R-16 has a Regal copy, but with more padding (which works well with normal clothes) and I liked the shape a lot. The real Regal matches its shape pretty closely.
