There seems to be an opportunity for the fans of Brooks saddles and white bike gear to buy the beautiful white Swallow saddle that was presented to top dealers at this year’s trade shows.

Stussy Japan has a special version of the Brooks white Swallow saddle available.

To show how rare these white Swallow Classic saddles are we quote from the Brooks Dealers of Excellence page:

We are honoured to present to you the first White Swallow. This is a limited edition of 50 pieces, which will not be for sale. This exclusive product is dedicated to our best partners; those dealers who not only sell Brooks Saddles, but who are deeply in love with them also.

The Stussy Swallow boasts design by The Wilson Brothers. In addition to the carton graphics there is a special Wilson Brothers white leather key fob in the same lettered bird design.

This is a limited edition of 150 copies. If you want one it is probably best not to linger. They are listed at 39,900 yen.

(I used to be fascinated by the psychedelic lettering style that the Wilson bros. use. I would spend hours making my own version of the Winterland and Family Dog posters. When the first Thirteenth Floor Elevator album came out I was inspired to paint the ceiling of my room in a similar mode. Maybe it is coming around again. I could re-do all the Wallingford graphics in lovely flowing type.)

Both the Wilson Bros. and the Stussy links have a good picture set from the Brooks factory.
