    Default Help with size of tree in Amerigo saddle?

    I need some help understanding tree widths for Amerigo saddles. I'm accustomed to hearing narrow, med/narrow, medium, med/wide, and wide..... But when shopping for Amerigos, I see 4 + 1.5, etc. Can anyone translate?

    Med = 0 (or more typically, it says nothing at that point in the serial number)
    MW = +1.5
    Wide = +2.5

    You can guess what medium-narrow and narrow are, right?

    While we're on this topic, the flap notation is

    N = normal flap, NOT narrow tree as many people misinterpret it to mean
    L = long flap
    XL = extra long

    I've actually never seen an Amerigo short flap but I know they do make one. I assume it says "S" but like I said, never seen one with my own eyes.
