Personally I always wear everything just incase. I have a 2 piece Alpinestars leathers. Bottoms are track pants and the jacket is the tz1. Also wear a Knox back protector underneath. Is say you'd pick some good stuff up off eBay. The Mrs just bought an Alpinestars Stella 2 piece which came to less than 80 quid for both. And look hardly worn.

Agree'd I'm always full geared up,
Jeans don't last too long when you come off.

About 0.4 seconds, then skin, muscle, bone

I used to wear textiles but found them too bulky and uncomfortable. Now have a set of 2 peice RST leathers. Need to get a new set of boots as they are worn out.
Have had a set of leather pants for sale for a while on ebay but had no takers on them.

You can get kevlar reinforced jeans which look good and have some protection.
I've got a 1 piece suit never worn for £100 hint fucking hint.

I bought cheap textile stuff off eBay when I started, just in case I didn't get on with riding a bike.
I then bought Alpinestars 2 piece leathers from Hein Gericke when they had a sale on. Paid £480 instead of £600.
