I'm on the hunt for a saddle but i'm confused on which companies have ones for 155mm sit bone sizes. I could be here forever doing a search and don't want to rehash old threads...
Oh knowledgeable TE folks, please help!!!

Brooks certainly.
The Specialized Jett comes in 155 I think. (They probably have others.)
There is at least one Selle Italia in that width too.
And loads of others I'm sure!

Horror stories, huh? I LOVE my Jett. It replaced the horrendous Bontrager that came on my Trek. To each their own I guess.
Btw, my Jett is a 155mm.

Yeah I had issues with the Jett but it works great for others.
This being said, Selle Italia makes saddles that are virtually identical to the Specialized Jett (and others), but much better construction (real leather, sewed not stapled, etc.). Twice the price though.

Same thing a guy in my club kept saying last year, at the same time he couldn't ride two days consecutively or longer than 50 miles without horrible pain. Even though he had a Brooks on his "beater" bike that he loved.
