I used to get chafing on narrower saddles (Bontrager, Selle Italia, C17). But the leather on the Brooks is slick. My shorts don't hang up or chafe at all. I was led to believe that a narrow saddle is necessary on a racy road bike. But after trying out a few I finally put the B17 on my Madone, and I wished I had done it sooner. My touring bike has had a Champion Flyer on it for 10 years and has always been great.

The width is in the back of the saddle. The nose is just as narrow as any other where your legs might rub.

You will just have to try it out and see.
