To use this costume, first put on the brown lederhosen shorts. Then, slip into the shirt and top it off with the provided hat. Finish the look by adding your own knee - high socks and boots. If you're going to a party, grab a tanker of beer to really fit the German theme. Remember, this costume is for adults only, so keep it away from children. The dyes in the costume may not hold their color well, so be careful when handling it around light - colored surfaces. And most importantly, stay far away from open flames as it's a fire hazard. When it comes to maintenance, don't try to wash it at home. Always take it to a professional dry cleaner to keep it in top shape.
