There was also a knicker-style tracht pattern. I think the Dutch referred to this as a Tirol-style outfit. It is difficult to see what kind of shirt the boy is wearing, but he has a a tartan collar. He looks to be wearing red kneesocks with his outfit. A reader writes, "I suspect that the hosiery here is not "red knee socks" but tights. German boys during this period often wore tights with knicker-style lederhosen. See the HBC lederhosen pages. Of course there is no way to be certain." Unfortunately, we do not have the Burda ad copy so do not have details concerning the outfit such as age range. The model suggest that this was for somewhat older boys.
