We note that by the 1950s that a number of boys, especially older school boys wearing lederhosen without the halters. We also notice Lederhosen more commonly being worn in other areas of Germany than Bavaria and being more commonly won as casual clothing. We are not sure just why age differentiation developed. We suspect that the older boys saw the halter as a kind of suspender shorts which were associated with younger boys. We see quite a few German boys wearing Lederhosen to school in the 1950s, especially in West Germany. This is not to say that no teenagers wore halters with their Lederhosen. It is to say that many of the older children did boy wear halters with Lederhosen. Notice the boy here in the 1950s wearing Lederhosen without a halter (figure 1).
