Ahoy ! Soaking Brooks and other leather saddles - Does the source and chemical composition of the water matter ? Yes, clean but, does it matter whether basic tap water, distilled water, mineral water ? I have no idea if some of the chemicals typically used in potable water could be harmful to the leather. Does one want to chlorinate a Brooks ? Thanks. Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois; U.S.A.
