I have to admit that I don't have a Brooks saddle, but I did spend some time this summer trying out new shorts. The Shebeest Ultra D had a substantial amount of padding--too much for my taste--in the sit bone area. I ultimately settled on the Sugoi FS short, which also offers good padding in that area, but it's a little more "concentrated."
I can't help you with your original question b/c none of my tights are padded, but I did see on TE that PI sells an Ultrasensor tight with the same chamois as the short. Sounds like they might work for you.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

I haven't found a chamois wide enough to fit my sits bones.
I'm very sad the Ibex El Fito chamois doesn't fit, either, but I love my El Fito capris so much that I don't really care.

I just noticed my first sitbone dents in my new B68 saddle- they are right where they SHOULD be
, on either side of the back. My old B17 had sitbone dents "trying" to form right on the edges of the saddle, and that's really how I knew it wasn't wide enough for me- i was riding partly on the side edges.
I find two styles of SheBeest chamois are truly wide enough for me-
ONe: the SheBeest chamois that comes both on their SB Pedal pushers, and the SB Tech tights (long).
and Two: the SB Ultra D shorts have a very nice wide pad that is great for long distances. Since my Brooks saddle has no padding at all, the Ultra D shorts don't seem like excess padding to me. They are in fact my most comfy chamois for any rides. Sometimes i wear them with long non-padded warm tights or knickers.
By the way, the SB Tech tights are on sale right now here:

I have them and they are very warm and comfortable with a nice chamois.Last edited by BleeckerSt_Girl; 10-26-2007 at 03:23 AM.

unless i am on a really long ride, I don't worry about Chamois either. Really long means more than 25 miles. I have a pair of Terry shorts that seem very nice. But i just don't have a problem, so i don't know if the Chamois is big enough or not.
