Good plan. Thanks. That's exactly what I've done now.
Update: very fast response from Brooks. They said that leather is a natural material and therefore will be subject to non uniform wear but they agreed that the wear on my saddle was unusual and have offered to put a new leather upper on it. Exceptional customer service.
