latest Wies'n news on the lederhosen
The Munich Oktoberfest, the world's biggest beer festival, normally reverberates to the sound of cheery drinking songs, slapping of thighs and the oom-pah-pah of the tuba. This year there are also howls of protest that Bavaria's heritage is under attack from cheap lederhosen made in China.

Oktoberfest rejects Chinese-made lederhosen
Bavaria's heritage under attack from imitations
For the purist, a true Bavarian wears only lederhosen made from the hide of a Bavarian deer and stitched and embroidered by a Bavarian tailor, preferably in an Alpine village with cow bells tinkling nearby.
Horse manure! Simple and pure!I grew up in Lederhosen, never knew anything else until my mid teens and none of them were made of deer hide or made in China. They were made of split cow hides as they had to be cheap for the poor bastards. And the greasier they were and full of sun burnt holes (burnt with lenses and sun),the more authentic they were. No fancy nickerboxers (these were for the 'rich') for us.That was in the dirty thirties, to which we are slithering again.Prost!
yeah but back then Noah was still trying to coax the last 2 animals into his ark.

What the hell did you smoke boy? Lederhosen are made from deer hide, at least the real ones in the Oberland, not that cheap Landhausmoden crap they wear at the Wiesn. They usualy do not have holes in them either and what you think is greasy is only the way the real ones look like after 15 years of wear and tear... the term is "Speckig" (bacony?)

And they were a pair of deer?From the times...
“But it's worth paying the extra money,” he added. “A good lederhose is like a second skin and it will last you your whole life if you don't get fat.”
A good lederhose ..... will last you your whole life if you don't get fat.
Which reminds me, Lokkers picked up your old Lederhosen last night
