How to read your Amerigo Saddle's serial number

How to read your Amerigo Saddle's serial number

ONE SADDLE. ONE CODE.

Each Amerigo saddle is tailored-made to order and features its own "identity code," a serial number indicating the model. The Serial Number is located on the underside of the sweat flap on the left-hand side.

HOW TO READ YOUR SADDLE'S UNIQUE CODE.

We do advise purchasers of used saddles to check with the current owners if and changes have been made to the original width of the saddle without being noted on the flap.
Examples of some common widths: Narrow = -1.5 Medium = M Medium Wide = +1.5 Wide = +2.5 Extra wide = +3.5
