    Is this lifespan typical of a leather saddle. Do Brooks saddles hold
    up any better? I notice that they seem to be held together with much
    larger copper rivets.

    Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

    Wallingford sells replacement rivets in three sizes. They're for
    Brooks saddles but they might be made to work.

    I don't know what the manufacturer
    does to the leather to soften it up for working and then make it hard
    and stiff for use.

    Howdy,

    They soak the leather in water...

    HTH,
