Chafing from the saddle or the edge seam of the padded insert in the shorts? I forget what saddle you are using, but on my B67's I will sometimes have that issue as a result of the seams getting a little old. Maybe you need new shorts.

If you're sure it's from the saddle, are you riding in racing posture. Sometimes that will tend to shove your pelvis back against the flair. If so, I've seen others lower the peak a bit.

I'm not a guy that can ride long distance on a Brooks, or any other saddle, without riding shorts.
