As to the shorts, for the love of all that is holy, WHY? Wool shorts with real chamois were ok in 1970 when that is all we had had. Lycra and a good synthetic pad is better by several orders of magnitude.
Hey, don't be hating. I'm from the same era as the OP and you don't want the 2 of us getting together and opening up a can of whoop-ass. :-)
