RE: [RC] Comfort Issues on Long Rides - Lysane Cree

Well, each pair of pants is custom made to your measurements, so in theory they should be able to make a pair that fits you specifically. There is a chart that tells you what measurements they need. The fabric is really soft and stretchy too. I guess the best thing to do would be to email them or call them and ask...I have had very good customer service from them so far, so I'm sure they would be helpful in answering your questions.
I've never ridden in sweat pants because I found that the pants would ride up...not sure about baseball pants. I doubt they would ride up, it's certainly worth a try before spending the dough on the Equissentials! One thing about the Equissentials is that they use deerskin leather which is really soft and supple (not as stiff as some of the Equisuede/synthetic stuff) and really gives you could grip in the saddle.
There are a few places in Canada that carry them if you look on the website - but they will take your measurements and the company will make them. They just have samples to try on in the store.

I find the Equissential riding pants are very good at protecting the inner leg - they are pricey, it's true, but they last a long time and they will put the same leather onto new fabric when the fabric wears out. They have the endurance seat (full seat plus leather goes all the way down to the ankle) or the endurance patch (starts a little above knee and goes to the ankle. I find I don't need half chaps when I'm wearing those. And the fabric and deer skin leather is so comfy, I have not found any others like it.
