Figure 1.--Here we see two unidentified brothers wearing identical Lederhosen, we think in the 1950s. They look about 4-8 years old. |

We note quite a number of Austrian photographs with brothers wearing Lederhosen, often identical Lederhosen. Apparently the choice of Lederhosen as oposed to other kinds of pants was a family matter. Some parents appreciated them more than others. Presumably these were the more traditional families. Here age does not seem to have been a major factor. We see pre-school boys as well as teenagers wearing them. We see brothers of all ages wearing them. As far as we can tell, Lederhosen wre less common than drindels for girls. We do not always see boys dressed in Lederhosen with their sisters wearing drindels.
