Doctor Sheen? Older Austrian shorts? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lederhosen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'austrian shorts?' is the definition.
'lederhosen' can be an answer for 'shorts?'. I'm not certain of the 'austrian' bit.

'doctor sheen? older' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'sheen'+'older'='sheenolder'
'sheenolder' with letters rearranged gives 'LEDERHOSEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lederhosen that I've seen before include "Clothing" , "Alpine shorts" , "Bavarian shorts with braces" , "German outfit" , "Short leather trousers with braces" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
