I did it. I found a saddle like & shorts that fit my long waist

So . . . now I'm confused. LOL. I bet I'm using the term, "long waisted" wrong. Proportionally, the chamois needs to be longer than for an average build. In other words, if you took a measuring tape and ran it from my navel, through my legs, and back to my waist on my back, it would be longer than most people. Hehe, I'm long pelvised. Does that make me short waisted, not long waisted? Oh that sewing class in 7th grade was too long ago

Basically, if your waist is low, you are long-waisted, your upper body is longer.

Hincapie Performer shorts have very long waists, from what I've heard and seen in pics.

I don't know about anywhere else, but here in the southeast, they call that "long in the stride" (or "straaahhhd" in Southernese ). "Long-waisted" means longer than usual from your shoulders to your waist, as SouthernBelle noted. So you need shorts that have a longer stride, or whatever that waist-to-hip measurement is called by clothing manufacturers.

And it can be difficult to find comfy shorts that work for you no matter what size/shape you are, so now that you've found the ones you like, I'd buy something like a case of them, because as someone else has said, when you find something you like, sure enough the manufacturer will either modify them beyond recognition or jack the price up or stop making them altogether.
