Where to get Padded Crew (rowing) Spandex? and colorful ones?

Question

Ever since I began rowing my butt is sore from sitting on the hard seat. Is there a place I can purchase spandex with pads inside them? If so where, and also where do people get crew spandex that have colorful prints on them?

I always use Godfrey Sports  ( http://www.godfrey.co.uk/ ); they do some nice patterns (the tuxedo top is quite cool!) and also some good, cheaper black-and-white stuff.  They're good quality, and if you go to 'Go to your club page' at the top of the homepage, you cn get club-specific clothing, if your club uses Godfrey.  You can always get a custom design from them; 'Custom Design' on the left-hand side of the page.
