Craftsmanship Rooted in Alpine Tradition: Lederhosen Short with Suspenders
Lederhosen (leather shorts) have been a symbol of Bavarian identity since the 18th century, originally worn by laborers and hunters for their durability. Our 2025 design preserves this legacy with artisanal touches:
- Hand-Cut Vegetable-Tanned Leather: Sourced from ethical European tanneries, the leather is processed using oak bark and natural oils, ensuring a soft, eco-friendly finish that ages beautifully.
- Traditional Knee-Length Cut: Authentic Kurze Lederhosen (short leather breeches) feature a 19–21″ inseam, accented with decorative front flaps (Latzen) and cross-stitched seams for durability.
- Adjustable Side Lacing: Leather laces at the waistband allow a customizable fit, accommodating up to 3″ of flexibility for comfort during festivities.
The matching suspenders elevate the look with:
- Hand-Embroidered Bavarian Motifs: Edelweiss flowers, stag antlers, and Alpine knots stitched onto sturdy cotton webbing.
- Antique Brass Clips: Rust-resistant hardware designed to grip securely without damaging the leather.

Super fast shipping and great quality lederhosen. Lederhosen fit snug but I’m sure they will stretch out after I wear them. Have not tried shirt on yet but am happy with the quality of my items.
