Description

Vintage Kniebundlederhosen Classic Grey Leather Knickers Pants 34" Waist
This is a pair of classic vintage German kniebundlederhosen (knee length leather pants).  These are the classic plain grey suede kniebundlederhosen that were not made for only wearing during Octoberfest - they were made to be worn for daily work and play.  They are very solidly made of thick leather, not thin leather. These are real heavy duty leather as shown by the weight of the pants being 3 pounds 8 ounces (1.6kg).  There are 2 pockets in the front and one flap pocket in the back.  They have a long zip fly (10.5 inches / 27 cm) with a clip at the top.  There are 2 suspender buttons on the outside on either side of the fly, no buttons in the back.  The bottom of the legs (just below the knees) have the buckle strap with three holes to adjust for the size.  With knee buckle unbuckled the circumference is 15 inches (38cm).  The waist is 34 1/4 inches (87cm) and the length is 31 inches (79cm).  There are belt loops for a 1 inch (2.5cm) belt.
These were my lederhosen.  I bought them when I was stationed in Germany in the mid 1960's.  During the 1970's and early 1980's I often wore these in the winter when I would cross country ski when living in Wyoming.  I used them with snap clip suspenders and the only potential flaw I see in these classic tough old lederhosen is the four spots along the waist where it is obvious that the snap clip suspenders were attached.  In addition, the elastic strips inside the knee opening to hold stocking up, are no longer elastic.  This pair of lederhosen shows signs of wear but there are no tears or rips in the leather other than that mentioned above for the suspender clip marks.  They are in Very Good to Excellent condition.
