You could write a book on this. In my opinion every Brooks saddle and every bum is different. I have had a Brooks which took a year to break in. The amount of times it nearly ended up in the bin was many. It is now a superb saddle, so glad I kept it. I also bought a ladies Imperial by mistake for 8 quid. The day I got it I rode a 100 miler on it. Excellent, straight out of the box. If I bought another ladies Imperial it could be a nightmare from the start.
Until you get a Brooks out of the box and try it, it is impossible to say if it will be good or bad. But in my experience, given time, they all end up good.
