Traditional Lederhosen Vests & Waistcoats

Collars, Pockets & Embroidery Details

The designs of these Bavarian vests are exceptional, just like the Lederhosen and traditional shoes present in our assortment. First, let's talk about the collars, and their forms are helpful in determining the formality of these garments. For instance, there is a V-neck, which is very versatile and allows the buttons to be seen.

Moreover, these items also have stand-up or band collars that are ideal for formal events. Then, the purpose of pockets here is to boost the functionality, and they comprise very captivating decorative properties. For example, the old-world charm is there in the form of watch pockets, which are usually not functional. Piped pockets are edged with contrasting colors. 

Both motifs and placements of embroidered details are admired by our audience. Some regional symbols, oak leaves, floral and deer are eminent examples of such designs. On the other hand, the placement is strategic to highlight the best features of our craftsmanship. The rest of our range of beer festival outfits for males and females, such as German Dirndls, also comprises striking traits.
