General Cycling Discussion - Shorts for BIG Guys

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I've been trying to find baggy cycling shorts that fit me. I need a XXXL and can't find any. It appears that XXL is the largest available by any manufacturer. Does anyone know where I can find larger shorts? FYI, I won't wear lycra shorts. Being so large, I'm very self-consious (sp?) so I won't subject myself and the community as a whole to my large body in skintight clothing. :(

Azonic, their RHYTHM (http://www.azonicusa.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=52_25&products_id=42) shorts are on the larger side and the material on the side stretches. Having 31" thighs I find them to be the most comfortable shorts around.
A friend of mine tore his shorts one day so he borrowed a pair and he has a 42" waist and they fit him just a bit tight inthe waist.

Thanks for the info, dirtbikedude. However, looking at these shorts the largest size listed in 38. I have a 48" waist. And therein lies my problem. :(
I guess I'll just have to wear my normal shorts until I drop a pound or two or twenty.
