There are clothes that you put on – and clothes that you wear. Lederhosen fall into the latter category. They are not a costume, not a disguise, and not a cheap Oktoberfest accessory. They are a piece of living history, a tradition tanned in leather, passed down from generation to generation. Those who wear genuine Lederhosen embody Bavaria. At Munich Outfit, we have put together a collection that not only looks good – but means something.
Our lederhosen are made from high-quality goatskin suede and deerskin – materials known for their durability in the Alpine region for generations. Real leather lives: it adapts to your body over time, becomes softer, and develops a more beautiful patina with every folk festival. A good pair of lederhosen from Bavaria doesn't get worse with age – it gets better.
Whether you're looking for Bavarian lederhosen for Oktoberfest, traditional lederhosen for a wedding, hunting lederhosen for an outing in nature, or elegant black lederhosen for a striking appearance – our collection offers the right choice for every occasion. For men, women, and children. For Bavaria and Austria. With colors ranging from slate grey and forest green to classic brown and deep black – each pair of trousers has its own character.
Each model in our collection features hand-embroidered designs on the bib and leg, traditional staghorn and antique-look metal buttons, adjustable suspenders, and a leather trouser belt in authentic traditional style. Plus our women's traditional lederhosen and children's lederhosen – so the whole family can make a good impression at the next folk festival.
Lederhosen are for everyone – not just the die-hard Bavarian. Men who want an authentic look at Oktoberfest. Women who are looking for a strong alternative to the dirndl with women's traditional lederhosen. Children who want to look like the grown-ups at the folk festival. Hunters who opt for hunting lederhosen. Austrians who celebrate their alpine tradition. And everyone who understands: Real traditional costume is not a disguise – it's an attitude.
Because they last. Because they grow with you. Because they accompany you. Cheap faux leather trousers tear after one season, lose their shape, and tell no story. A real Bavarian lederhosen made of natural leather develops a patina, molds to your body, and becomes more beautiful with every festival. Once you've worn real traditional costume, you'll never wear a costume again. In addition: A shirt with lederhosen, the matching belt for lederhosen, and Haferl shoes – that's a look that impresses at any folk festival.
How do I recognize real leather? Real leather smells rich and earthy, feels warm, and develops a patina over time. Faux leather looks flat, smells chemical, and tears easily.
Which size to choose? Go for one size smaller – leather stretches 2-3 cm at the waistband and up to 5 cm at the thighs due to body heat.
What do you wear with them? A classic shirt with lederhosen in white or plaid, along with Haferl shoes. Never wear suspenders and a belt at the same time.
Can you wash them? Never put them in the washing machine. Light stains can be wiped with a damp cloth, then air dry. Apply leather oil every few months.
Only for Oktoberfest? No. Schützenfest, wedding, alpine excursion, hunting – real Bavarian lederhosen are traditional wear for life, not just for one evening.
