But I have this fear of eating up muscle tissue with too much cardio. I know it's "gym science" and as long as you are doing something to stimulate muscle retention and have your diet on point...it's not a big issue.
But I'm old and old habits die hard!

That’s definitely a fear of mine also, but I limit the distance and keep it more short runs, or workouts with 200m or 400m runs mixed in. I do a lot of weighted/vest runs and workouts. I like to keep it varied. I do use HMB which has helped retain muscle as I’ve gotten into my 40s.
As for the jeans/shirts dilemma, take a look at Hylete. They now make casual wear. Jeans shirts etc. Made for athletic builds. I love their stuff, I have a ton.
