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."
Beer drinking men in skirts ping.
Driking beer and eating sausage and sauerkraut?
It's always "windy".

Nahhhh...way too easy....
Now you won't have to go to all that unzipping and stuff to go to the bathroom.
OK, this calls for comment...
Will male FReepers be donning skirts now?
"With all that beer flowing at the fest you need to make sure your belly is free to take it in."
I imagine it also makes it easier to let it back out again in an hour.
You don't buy beer, you borrow it.
Never thought of that. Figured they were wine spritzer kind of guys.
If it's na' Scottish, it's crrrrraaaap!
How is this bettter than the Utilikilt:http://www.utilikilts.com/
Works especially well if you're a Sitzpisser.
No fumbling with Zippers or Buttons after one has been drinking to much...and needs to relieves himself...
Since when did that ever stop a FReeper?.......go ahead, it's Friday!..........
"Make mine a Molson."
Yikes!
but what do you wear under it?
Anything to ease the passage of the golden fluid through the system. Just be careful you don't run into any of the thousands of cannibalistic German homosexuals that will be looking for lunch.
