Lederhosen are traditional German leather trousers that have become a cultural icon, especially in the Bavarian region. Originally designed as durable workwear for farmers, hunters, and laborers in the Alpine areas, they were valued for their strength and resistance to wear and tear. Made from high-quality leather—usually goat, cow, or deerskin—lederhosen are often decorated with detailed embroidery and are typically worn with suspenders and a front flap.
