Not even broken in and practically demo condition. I believe it is wool flocked based on feel, though I have been unable to get a response from Prestige. I make no guarantees, and I can't get a visual through the slits, but with tweezers i was able to get a tiny pinch of fibers. It is not a new saddle, but the person a got if from told me it sat in the tack room almost exclusively. Expected light signs of wear from leathers, a name plate was removed, and a little coloration around buttons that may or may not come off with cleaning efforts. Gullet is sueded which is why it looks the way it does in pictures. 33 is Prestige's medium, but is similar to a medium wide in some brands. This saddle is quite similar to the ever popular 200D but was made for the European market. please ask additional questions before purchase. I have this saddle listed elsewhere at a lesser price.
