The right size is particularly important for Lederhosen, as genuine cowhide leather adapts slightly when worn. Please take a moment to carefully check your measurements to find the best fit.

1. How to measure correctly

Please measure directly on your body, not over clothing:

✔ Waist circumference (most important measurement)

Measure the circumference of your waist at the point where the Lederhosen should sit (usually slightly below the navel).

✔ Hip circumference

Measure at the widest point of your hips.

✔ Tip

Use a flexible tape measure and do not pull it too loose or too tight.

2. Important note about leather

Genuine cowhide leather behaves differently than fabric:

• Leather is a bit stiffer at first
• it adapts slightly after being worn several times
• the Lederhosen become more comfortable over time

👉 Therefore, the pants should initially fit snugly, but not uncomfortably.

3. Difference: Short vs. Long Lederhosen

🟤 Short Lederhosen (Kurz)

• Usually a bit sportier fit
• Ideal for Oktoberfest & warm days
• Freedom of movement is paramount

👉 Recommendation: choose your normal clothing size

---

🟤 Long Lederhosen (Lang)

• Slightly more classic cut
• More coverage & traditional look
• Often worn for festive occasions

👉 Recommendation: also choose your normal size, for a sturdier build, rather one size larger

4. Size recommendation (general)

If you are between two sizes:

• rather slim → smaller size
• rather sturdy → larger size

5. Avoid common mistakes

• Do not order by jeans size
• Do not order too large "for safety"
• Do not measure over thick clothing
