People say jeans are terrible on a bike, but if you slide them low enough, I have no problem. And very durable too.
Jeans=good. Get a size larger and use suspenders. I swear people are less likely to run you down than if you're wearing lycra--the guys in the huge pickup trucks think you might be one of them with a suspended drivers license. Look like the people in the cars--they won't hate you as much if you dress like they do. If you feel it's necessary, wear bike shorts under them.
