Sombrio do some narrow ones and always seem to be on sale somewhere.
(Eg http://www.evanscycles.com/products/sombrio/pinner-shorts-ec036987 )

I like the RaceFace 3/4. Ok with pads.
This seems to be he nearsst thing they have now

Matter of opinion. I reckon Humvees would have suited Don Estelle. If you want close but not tight how about Vulpine or even Rohan?

Nallini ones worked well for me, and Endura ones, the chamois on the Endura ones is pretty pants though.
