My ole faithful Bradington Young leather office chair that I have used at my desk in the store since 1989 is finally giving it up. 21 years old and its time to get replaced, it developed a wobble last week and leans forward and to the left, and its too old to try to repair it. I certainly got my money's worth out of it.

B-Y doesn't build many office chairs styles any more, so the new one will be a Hancock and Moore model # 9177 ST-PL in Weston Ebony, a GR 2 leather that comes out of Germany. I find I like this chair the best of all the models for comfort and long hours at the desk. I resisted the urge to put an exotic leather on it (though I seriously toyed with using Bighorn Ebony, a GR5 hide made from the Bighorn Sheep), and am going for a leather than is technically unprotected, but one I expect to age gracefully over the years.
