So Mary says, get your leiderhosen on! I first thought she was talking dirty to me. Alas, I figured it out.
Did You Know? - Lederhosen were originally practical workwear for peasants in the Alpine regions of Germany and Austria, becoming a popular fashion item for the upper class in the 18th century. Named "leather trousers," they were durable and comfortable for hard labor and horseback riding. Today, they are a symbol of traditional Bavarian culture, often worn at festivals like Oktoberfest.
I put it on with a lot of help from Mary!
The girls were here this evening.
I almost said something but caught myself!
We look pretty good!
I love her smile!
Down the hatch!
At our table, Vodka and Wine were flowing freely.
Selfie time!

Origin and Purpose
Workwear: Lederhosen began as functional clothing for peasants and farmers in the Alps, offering protection from the elements and allowing for ease of movement during work.
Materials: Initially made from tough sheep or goat skins for the working class, and later from softer deer skins for the nobility, these leather trousers were durable and could be easily cleaned of dirt.
Fashion Trend: The late Rococo period saw the upper class adopt lederhosen, emulating the peasant lifestyle. The unique, just-above-the-knee style with a front flap became a status symbol.
All smiles!
Let the show go on!
I'm up and moving!
Did You Know? - Maybe it sounds exaggerated to call Lederhosen functional clothing, but they can definitely do more than most people think. The deerskin is pleasantly soft and makes the pants robust and durable at the same time. They protect against harsh weather, keep you warm in the cold and cool in the heat. They also tolerate liquids like rain or beer quite well.
Around and around I go!
Dang! She is chasing me again!
