Selle Anatomica are getting there, but they also have a narrow effective width essentially precluding them from everyone with wide sitbones. They're 165mm wide so if you take a sitbone measurement and add 4cm from center to center measurement you get the width you'd need for a suspended leather saddle so that the steel rails will not contact the outsides of your sitbones. So for a selle anatomica the maximum sitbone width center to center would be 125mm. However that's pushing it so honestly a person with 115mm wide sitbones could probably sit on a selle anatomica without issues.

There's nothing wrong in a person if their sitbones are wide. Generally sitbones can go up to 150mm or more.
