We see Austrian boys wearing Lederhosen with a variety of hosiery. Kneesocks seem common, but we also note ankle socks and long stockings. Rural children also went barefoot with Lederhosen. We also note the calf socks worn with folk outfits. This seems particularly common after World War II because of the poverty resulting from the economic dislocations caused by the War. We assume sme boys wear tights with Lederhosen, esecially the knickers-length Lederhosen. The type of hosiery worn with Lederhosen were affected both by chronological and social class factors as well as age. Demographic factors such as rural/urban areas were also important.
