I just received the latest "Brooks Despatch" in my e-mail folder this
morning. Here's a link if any of you are interested:

I thought it was interesting that Brooks now makes their leather bags
in Britain (Birmingham), and canvas baggage in Italy (Tuscany). This
is a change from their previous manufacture in China.
Whatever your opinions are pertaining to the Chinese manufacture of
bicycle products, I think its nice to see them return to their
proximate point of origin. When I think of Brooks, I definitely think
of a traditional British product.
*Note: Many of these products aren't inexpensive, but they weren't
inexpensive when sourced from China either!

Is the geometry of the Mercian at the bottom of the page as tradly as it appears on that page? It looks positively Edwardian. DL-1-ian. Roadsterian.
Can also be seen on the John Boultbee clothing page, looking similar.
