Frequently Asked Questions
Can women really wear Lederhosen?
Yes, women's Lederhosen are a fully valid part of modern folk costume. They are worn with pleasure at the Oktoberfest, at the Kirchweih and at many other traditional occasions.
What is better: genuine leather or faux leather?
Genuine leather is more durable, improves with age and feels more authentic. Faux leather is less expensive, easier to care for and available in more colours. For occasional wear, faux leather is a good choice. For a pair of Lederhosen meant to last years, genuine leather is worth it.
What do you wear with women's Lederhosen?
A Trachten blouse or Dirndl top, Trachten stockings or Loferl, matching shoes (Haferl shoes or Trachten trainers) and a belt with a traditional buckle. That makes a complete women's folk costume look with Lederhosen.
How do I care for women's Lederhosen?
Rub genuine leather Lederhosen with leather grease or leather conditioner once per season. Do not wash in the washing machine. Dab stains dry, do not rub. Store dry and hanging.
