In fact I have, I've done a couple of centuries on my fixed gear. When I did those, I wore some padded underwear under some cut off shorts and some sort of poly t-shirt from EMS or Patagonia. Same sort of shirt I wear when I run or hike.
Worked great. Mostly though I'm riding for significantly less than 3 hours so normal clothes and shoes make a lot more sense.
