THE HISTORY OF LEDERHOSE

In the period around 1850, Lederhose as we know them today were considered hunting trousers for the nobility. They were a noble item that farmers could not afford at the time and were difficult to use for field work. 

Leather pants made from deerskin are the top class, thanks to their incomparable softness, durability and the unique luxury they offer.

In 1883, a few friends at a regulars' table in Bayrischzell decided to found the first traditional costume association to save the beautiful traditional lederhosen from ruin. The men had short lederhosen made and since then it has become a tradition to show them off.
At first, they were much ridiculed by the church and the community. Fortunately, the nobility backed the "Lederhose" project and so they became increasingly popular.

Until 1913, the then Bishop of Freising called Bavarian Lederhose a "work of Satan". The already established supporters of the Bavarian tradition at the time only took this as an opportunity to put on traditional pants all the more. Lederhosen triumphed against all prejudices.
In the 1950s and 1960s, traditional Lederhose experienced their heyday. For special occasions and delicacies, Bavarian Lederhose already have a firm place in the traditional image of the homeland.
