I take it you are wearing dress Slacks right? Wow sounds like there is a little Polyester in those SLacks ( Just a FYI ans a PSA Polyester is not a good choice to wear on a bike I know some on whose bike hit some sand and the pants melted right to the skin it wasn't a pretty site, natural fabric is a little better) . Maybe go with a light weight wool, cotton or a nice linen slacks. Another 3 things is leg gaiters or chaps or wear jeans and change when at work.

Cotton dockers or like brand will work. I've never had a problem and ride to work almost everyday.
