Sorry to revive this, but having some brooks issues...
I have a brooks swift, bought second hand, which seems to have a tendendcy to sag... I've tightened it once or twice which corrects it temporarily, then it stretches again. I'm conscious of the risks of overtightening and deforming the leather, and I like the saddle, but it gets less comfy when it sags (it's pretty nice to sit on when in good condition). Anyone have any experience with this? Should I just tighten it back to level (which seems to be quite a lot of tightening) and try harder not to get it wet?
