- First, this commandment was given strictly to the Levites. Please demonstrate where this is restricted to the Levites. This is a figment of your imagination.
- Second, this commandment was strictly given in relation to their priestly garments, which were to be warn when administering at the altar in the tabernacle. Please demonstrate where they were restricted from wearing them any other time. This is a figment of your imagination.
- Thirdly, these breeches were to cover the Levites from the loins down to their thighs, meaning they rested at the knee. Thus, they were shorts, not pants. This is true. However, the Hebrew young men wore pants.

Then there is Albert Barnes notes on Matthew 5:40.
(Mat 5:40 KJV) And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

Concerning the coat:
Coat - The Jews wore two principal garments, an interior and an exterior. The interior, here called the “coat,” or the tunic, was made commonly of linen, and encircled the whole body, extending down to the knees. Sometimes beneath this garment, as in the case of the priests, there was another garment corresponding to pantaloons.

There is no commandment commanding males in general to wear breeches or not to wear breeches. Therefore, I'd assume that if the Levitical garments became all the rave among the ancient Hebrew men, they would only be optional attire.

Still can't find a reference to a godly woman wearing pants...
