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...

Actually, I can think of a context where you can wear lederhosen as a female in Germany, but it's fairly specific... (i.e.,Scouts)
