Nice to see the Persons brand revived,BUT , made in India and without the beautiful and distinctive Persons" crest st amped in the saddle skirt and without the beautiful raised brass Persons na me on the back of the saddle framed by brass grometted tool bag slots, it just ain't the same. Let's face it,badges and panache ,coupled to a qualit y product is what makes for brand loyalty. Art Link,San Antonio,TX USA

Persons is actually a verrrrr
y old name in bicycle saddles, going
back to the very early 20th century
, if not the late 19th. Persons
and Mesinger were the two top U.S. sadd
le makers back in the day.
