I started riding in Italy, at the time customary riding gear was jeans, 'tennis shoes', t-shirt, shades and possibly a thin wind-jacket, helmets were not compulsory and many didn't bother especially in hot city-centre traffic.
Nowadays I am mostly ATGATT (though not always). I have crashed both with and without gear and know which is preferable....
