Most German Scouts wore the uniform shirt. Less common were uniform pants. We note boys wearing uniform pants to some extent, but we also noice a variety of other pants, jeans, sports shorts, and lederhosen. We note corduroy shorts were popular for a time, but gradually gave way to jeans. Lederhosen or leather shorts were especially popular in Germany although boys in other counties have also worn them. Lederhosen were most common in Bavaria and southern Germany, but appear to have been widely worn by German Scouts. we note German Scouts wearing lederhosen both with the Scout uniform and when wearing regular clothes for Scout activities--especially at Scout camps.
