They're expensive (app $300 Cdn), but I bought a pair of full seat
Schumacker britches (in deep purple although they come in other
colours) and I *love* them!!  They have a pleat and are made of a
thick cotton, almost canvas type material.~

I also ride in Harry Hall's, which I find fit me well (I have some
extra flab around the middle :-)
