I think your election of gear is just great.... as long as you don't wreck!
Seriously, it's your choice, but what you have listed isn't going to offer much in the way of protection WHEN you go down.
I could write a book about it. But WHEN you find yourself doing 50mph down the road without a bike, you'll figure it out.
The half helmet? You might as well not wear a lid.
But, it is your choice.

Langlitz High-End Leather Jacket: Tough as nails, and super simple to keep up. No Zips, tassels or Farkles. With my shoulders armour feels like crapola.
Reimann Deer-Skin Leather Gloves: Very tough, very soft, and not overly nasty on hot days.
WorkWorld Double Bar stitched Blue Jeans: 'Cause They're comfy, and my build does *not* lend itself to chaps or racing leathers.
Doc Marten Steel Toed Ankle Boots: 75% of the time I am commuting to work, and the mandatory footwear is steel toes. Besides, do you know what size 13.5 MX Boots cost?!?!?
So yeah, not ATGATT, but not flipflops and a wife-beater either. Anyone else care to comment?
