Mernio Wool undershorts (I'm particular to Ibex Balance Running shorts), Merino socks, synthetic khakis rolled up (like Rail Riders Backcountry Khakis rolled up to my knees), Merino Polo (though I'm looking at some highly ventilated button down shirts from Rail Riders and / or ex officio - because they're tougher and less expensive - with two little boys, I don't want to worry about my shirt getting beat up as soon as I get home - problem is synthetics get riper faster so I'll by necessity wash them more often than the wool... still thinking). If you really want to get breathable, Rail Rider's Eco Mesh pants are basically like shorts when the vets are opened...
Presuming I shower BEFORE I ride in, yes I sweat while I ride (6 mile each way), but it dries with no noticeable stink (trust me, I've asked enough people that I would trust to answer me truthfully).
Most ripe individuals (excluding some synthetics + certain biologies... some people just have bad reactions - generally natural fabrics are anti-microbial) are due to unhealthy lifestyle / diet combined with general lack of cleanliness (note, my added comment, I wasn't trying to implicate anyone here who may have problems with synthetics...).
