Lederhosen are normally worn with collared shirts. For dress occasions they might be worn with a white shirt and a tie. For normal every day wear they were often
worn with ginham or other plaid-like shirts. The most common ginham was a red checked pattern, although various blue shades were also worn. HBC has not
noticed other colors of ginhams.
