A friend of mine raced in the Clubman class in Christchurch NZ for a couple of seasons. His Alpinestars 2 piece suit had the jacket zip mounted to the mesh liner. Would not have stayed together in a feet forward slide.
Just something to be aware of when looking at riding gear.
Also what were the scrutineers thinking to pass such a suit for racing !
My commute is only 25 k's each way, but I use jeans in the summer (with overpants in the wet). In the winter I use textile pants over my regular trousers. I never use the insulation layer when wearing other pants underneath. If you already have some textile pants then I'd start off with those and see how you go. After a bit of commuting you'll have a better idea of what is important to you.

All of my sets have the zipper mounted to a stretch panel or liner on the jacket side. I've always hated that, and have considered having the zipper sewn directly to the leather.
Where's Brett when you need him
I have a pair of stovepipe jeans a la draggin(drayko)they were 6" too long and big flappy legs as you said.
I took mine to a local tailor with a pair of regular jeans I liked the cut on and got them to copy the fit
Cost me 48 dollars to get them done.
I'm happy as with em now.
Quite possibly things have improved by now. One of my crashes was a 90mph highside at Ruapuna, I tumbled and slid for quite a distance and the gear showed no signs of coming apart. Granted it's not the best option but still better than not having the pants and jacket connected. And lets face it, one piece suits are not that practical for daily road use.
