Pfälzer Weinkehlchen: Original Costumes


Figure 1.-- This is a photograph from one of the fälzer Weinkehlchen concerts. The photograph is undated, but was probably taken during the 1960s. Notice the guitar accompaniment.

The boys unlike the girls do not have caps. They wear red double-breasted vests or waistcoats with black bows. The boys origiinally wore their scarves in carefully tied bows, aleast some of the boys. Note the boys in the front row here (figure 1). The boys originally performed in black short pants and white kneesocks. They wear lace up leather shoes. The girls wear destinctive white caps. While the dresses are a kind of generalized fol dresses called a drindle, the caps are very destinctive. I am not sure what they are called. The girls have blue dresses with white aprons and scarves. The dresses and aprons seem to us to have a generalized German folk look. hey also like the boys wore white kneesocks, but with black strap shoes.
