Also, question mostly for the Germans/ Austrians on the flist.

For some time, I've found myself wanting a pair of Zimmermanshose - the traditional black cords, with pockets down the side legs suitable for sticking squares, pens, etc in, worn by German carpenters as wandering apprentices.

But: is it bad form/ tacky to have a pair when you aren't actually a carpenter? I have worked in wood, at school and hobbyishly, but I'm quite aware that's not at all the same thing...

Yeah, well I wouldn't go out of the house wearing one anywhere else but here, either. And even here, I'd only wear it to Oktoberfest or Nockherberg. In Freiburg, they'd think you're a crazy foreigner, probably.

Ich habe gerade erfahren, dass ich nächstes Wochenende auch in Freiburg bin. Vielleicht reicht es dann für eine Wurst für mich. ;-)
