The biggest problem I have with this floppy pantleg or loose, open shirt
approach is the occasional bee that gets filtered in while riding here in the
NE. That's an experience you don't forget and one that doesn't happen with
those real bike clothes (tighter openings). Yes, I have to pull over and remove
my helmet once in awhile also but I've only been stung under loose shirts and
shorts. I still wear both types of clothing depending on what type of riding
I'm doing on a given day.

I tour and do long day rides on a B17 saddle with MUSA shorts and
loose, cotton knit boxers (Hanes?). Saddle soreness is never an
issue. I never would have believed this possible back in my bike shop
days, when I recommended padded shorts for any kind of "serous"
riding... What a bunch of hooey!
I think the key is to go big and loose both on the shorts and boxers
in order to stay cool and comfy. I've got a size 36 waist but ride
with some big-ass boxers (size 40!) and size XL MUSA's. My kids make
jokes when I'm folding laundry (serious tent-size proportions), but
what price comfort?
Probably shared more detail than y'all wanted to hear ;-)
