Just as well it is targeted at the Germans, because I don't think you'd get many Ozzies and Kiwis wearing it. Not until they had a few steins anyway :lol:

Designers invent skirt for beer drinkers
German designers are promoting a skirt for male drinkers to wear at the Munich Beer Festival.
They say their Oktoberfest Frock is a lot more comfortable than traditional lederhosen.
Doreen Anders and Andreas Landinger, from Munich, say they were influenced by the Scottish kilt in creating the drinking-dress which comes in 'short' or 'calf' length.
There are no tartan designs but the kilt comes in colours in-keeping with the blue-and-white Bavarian flag and other symbols of the Oktoberfest beer festival.
A spokesman for the designers say the skirt "combines softness with comfort" and does not inhibit the wearer like lederhosen, which can "be a bit tight around the calves and stomach".
Landinger, who started designing skirts for men a year ago, said: "I think they're going to go down well.
"We've already had a few dozen orders and once one everyone realises how comfortable they are, I think they'll really catch on.
"With all that beer flowing at the fest you need to make sure your belly is free to take it in."
