<p>In episode 71, Saga wears his Gemini Golden Cloth when he was fully naked. But in episode 73, when his cloth shatters, we see that he is wearing a pair of pants. When did he put on those pants? Where did they come from? Were they hidden inside the Golden Cloth?</p>

Another possibility: all saint clothes are made with the same material of Phoenix Armor.

He traveled at speed of light to his closet, put some pants on, and came back (still at speed of light). That is the real power of a golden saint !
