I wear regular jeans and then some textile/mesh pants over them, which have some CD armor pieces. Not the greatest looking, but pretty easy to remove if I'm going to ride somewhere and then walk around for a bit.

Klim K Fifty 1 jeans. Look like regular Levi 501s, Kevlar lined with knee, hip, and tailbone protection. Folks were complaining about the "European" skinny fit and went larger with the -1, but on thin guys they can get baggy. I wish they still had the original K Fifty. I ordered a waist size smaller from Revzilla. Get the longer inseam version if you're tall. Walking around they'll bunch up at the ankle, but should fit right on the bike.

I also wear diamond gusset riding jeans with Kevlar in the seat and knees really like them also recently purchased and started wearing Bonn armor pants under them so for in 80 degree weather they are breath able and comfortable

At the risk of looking creepy exposing the inside of my pants to complete strangers, here's what they look like. No external seams for the Kevlar or protectors:
Inside front. The yellow stuff is Kevlar. The knee protectors are held in place by Velcro and are adjustable:
Inside back. The hip and tailbone protectors are non-adjustable:
Again, not cheap and they do run a bit baggy for the skinny guys.

I'll second the Bohn Armor. https://www.bohn-armor-pants.com
Probably better protection, and you can wear them under anything you want. I wear mine under a variety of jeans, and cargo pants. Combining them with kevlar or fire hose type pants would probably be the best protection short of racing pants.

These are the motor pants I use at work. While they're more of a BDU pant, rather than a denim jean, they are extremely comfortable and are Kevlar lined.
I liked them so much I bought a couple pairs in other colors for my personal use!
