vegans and vegetarians don't need to ride Brooks. Only exception, I meant to include that earlier.
db, you can paint your white, if that's not an option already.
As a sidenote, it's probably better to ride leather than to ride petrochemical containing/produced man-made materials. Better for the whole earth (incl animals) not just the animals. Just a brainstorm.
Are you trying to bait me into a rant :]
