History

1865

In 1865, a man by the name of John Boultbee Brooks discovered that the wooden saddle used to sit on on a horse was uncomfortable.

His father made leather saddles for horses so at a very young age, Brooks' father introduced him into the industry. Brooks designed and made comfortable saddles, leather straps, and general leather goods from the leather in his father's workshop.

1870

In 1870, Brooks had an innovative idea for increasing comfort on the bicycle. The hard seats on the bicycles made it riding uncomfortable so Brooks developed a new type of saddle for bicycles.

1914 - 1930

In 1914, Brooks' son began manufacturing leather passenger luggage. His son's interest in wildlife helped influence the company name and brand symbol. Stag and Antlers logo was a stag's head with antlers.
