How do the seat sizes run? Same as the Bob Marshall?
Currently riding in a 15 in BM but I'm sardined in. It was recommended by the seller that I would fit fine in a 15.5 Jackie. Based on the BM guidelines I would need a 16 or even a 16.5.

They "run small". I ride a 14" seat in a treed saddle. My Jackie J is a 14.5 but there is no extra room in it. If I bought another, I would buy a 15.5 seat. They ride pretty awesome though.

Yes but that was over a year ago when I was a bit slimmer.
I currently have a 15in Bob Marshall thats too small. Ok to hack around in but when I put my stirrups up where they need to be to make a run in I really get sardined in.
I went ahead and ordered a 16.5....hopefully the 1/2 in won't be a huge deal.
I ride a 14.5 in a treed saddle, and a 14.5 in a Jackie Jatzlau actually feels a bit big. I don't agree that they're smaller. I really like the way they ride!

I ride in a 14.5 treed saddle. Both my Jackies Js have been 15.5. I will say they might be a tad big BUT I don't think I'd want to go any smaller for fear they might seam to snug. I have room, but I don't feel like its to big by any means.

I figure best to have a little too much room then not enough!

Same here. I'm a bigger seat than you, but I ride in the same size whether treed or treeless.
