I ride four different leather slung saddles - and with definitely, absolutely no discomfort of any kind. I can wear whatever I please for shorts or pants, too; appropriate for the intended ride, of course.
Padding is bad for saddles/bottoms.
OP needs to ride the bike with an eye toward proper fit adjustment and miles in the saddle as is...
