Re: Lederhosen...Germany's Kilt
My late father-in-law used, as a child, to don his lederhosen, complete with a magazine lining if he thought he was about to get his backside warmed by his dad.

Re: Lederhosen...Germany's Kilt
smartly turned out in a T-shirt and shorts
Can a t-shirt and shorts ever really be classified as "smart"?! If so, I think perhaps we need to raise the bar a little!
This isn't to say that I never wear a t-shirt and shorts. But when I do, I definitely don't feel like I'm smartly turned out. At best, it's extremely casual wear that's best suited to daytime outdoor events in hot weather. With beer involved.

Point well taken/made, although when I was in the Navy we had a uniform designated as "tropical whites short" which consisted of white shorts and white short sleeved shirt, which for the British version was their square-neck T-type short sleeved shirt. I was and saw lots of such "smartly dressed sailors" throughout east asia and the south pacific during Vietnam!

Do forgive me; I seem to have been distracted. What was this thread about again?
