Well thanks for the comments. Since so many were focused on the idea that jeans were horrible. The jeans I wear are only stretch jeans or "dress jeans", which also stretch. Stretch jeans are about 5% poly and dress jeans are almost all poly. Binding, seams and catching in gears and saddle soreness are not problems.
Besides not seeing much gain, the biggest problem with shorts/bibs is that others are judging them as being too revealing. Mnt bike shorts don't work as I don't want to wear shorts at work and don't want to carry another set of clothes. It would be nice if there were some designed with a little baggy in the crotch area and rest of fit is fine.
