Desoto.
I just can't believe how comfortable they are. They do have a long inseam as well.

If you're looking for a long distance, high density chamois, look no further than the Gore Ozon. You can order them on Wiggle for $100 (phenomenal deal) or buy them at a shop for around $150.

The Sugoi RS Bib Short is right at $150. Super nice for the price.
Capo Modena also deserves another mention.

I bought a 2009 Hammer (Voler) bib short and was not impressed. I like my Pearl Izumi Pro shorts a lot more. Is the 2010 a big improvement?

If you wear a small, and don't mind yellow shorts:
https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/roa...ts/ASSOZBBS350
If you wear an XXL or XXXL and don't mind white:
https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/roa...ts/GIORZBBS360
Elsewise:
https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/roa...ts/GIORZBBS370
Just watch out for nipple chafing on that last set...
Not sure about the Assos, but I think the Giordana's have a decently-long inseam.

I got a pair of Velocissimo's - after just a few rides the seams started to unravel, with threads hanging everywhere. And apparently I'm not the only one:

The Hammer bibs by Bergamo <$90, and they are fantastic, that is assuming you don't mind "Hammer" plastered all over them. I have three pair. There is no elastic on the leg grip, and the chamois is all day comfortable. These are easily my best bibs, and I have many pairs.

Or you could get these:
https://www.jnsunsports.com/servlet/t...Shorts,/Detail
They are $20... I have a few pairs and no complains. I'm new to riding and I don't know what I'm missing.

I only wear Voler b/c all of my kits are club/team kits. But if you are on a club or team you usually can get bibs for ~70
