German

Did you know that lederhosen were once the dickies of 18th Century Bavaria and Austria? Seriously.

For a long time, they were the official workwear of German peasants because of their sturdy and rugged construction. Somewhere along the way, they became a traditional fashion icon, but always represented the hardworking Germans and Austrians of yore.

But don't worry about all that manual labor stuff, because nowadays lederhosen symbolize something much, much different: partying down during Oktoberfest! That's why when you wear these awesome and authentic-looking adult Lederhosen, everyone will know that the party is wherever you go!

They're perfect for the guy who wants to knock back steins of beer and celebrate Oktoberfest..

. or his German heritage (or both!

)..

. in a culturally hip and historically accurate way.

With shorts that come down to the knee area, dark brown poplin fabric, and lots of little rich details (like bronze edge trim on the pant legs and suspenders, and a traditional heraldic crest on the chest panel), these lederhosen will make you look right at home in any beer garden (or Biergarten, in case you needed help with the translation from the original German)! The great thing about lederhosen is that they can be combined with several different styles.

You can go casual like the Kerl (that's German for "guy") seen here in the picture, or combine the lederhosen with Trachten, traditional Bavarian wear that includes jackets, coats, and vests. Just don't forget to have a look around at our Oktoberfest hats and accessories before you do!

So you're going to Oktoberfest. Maybe it's not even an official Oktoberfest event, but it's a fest of some kind, you know there's going to be beer, and everything is vaguely German.

The only question that we want to know the answer to is: are you going in the appropriate Bavarian wear, or not? Because, if we know our beer fests (and trust us, we've been to our fair share) there will be a ridiculous number of average Joes around.

You know the kind. Baggy shorts, graphic t-shirts, sports sunglasses and baseball hats?

The boring guys you see at any and all fairs and events? Interested in the beer but not invested in the festival?

Don't be one of those guys. Why?

Because they're boring. Don't you want to be more than boring?

Wouldn't you rather be noticeable at least? Now, we're not asking you to go out and buy a brand new pair of leather Lederhosen, a vest, or Bavarian shoes.

You can start small, say our Men's Lederhosen kit. This kit has a brown pair of embroidered suspenders that clip on to your own shorts or pants to get that Lederhosen look.

The kit also comes with a felt had with band in German colors. Pair it with your own comfy pair of shorts, shoes, and a button-up, and you won't have to worry about being another boring Joe.

Now, lift that stein with pride! Prost!

A Bavarian Blast Yodel-eee-ayy-hoo! Are you ready for a Bavarian blast?

Perhaps you'd like to hike the Alpsand sound an alphorn. Or maybe you'd like to attend a folk dance and do the Schuhplattler dance.

Or maybe you'd just like to post up for 16 days of Oktoberfest! Hey, whatever kind of old world fun you'd like to have, we'd say that we encourage it and totally recommend it.

As long as you have a costume! That is kind of our gig, being costume experts and all, so we'll always recommend going in costume.

But when you have the chance to dress up for the occasionand you can mix in some humor, too, well that's when the fun is really gonna happen. So, just suit up in this Bavarian Piggyback Adult Costume, and you'll be ready for the good times!

Costume Details This detailed costume comes from our friends at Morphsuits, as a part of their famed piggyback series. These amazing costumes are detailed costume pants that create the illusion of you riding a little character.

And that's because they include an extra pair of legs, arms, and a little soft-sculpted head! This Bavarian costume is really one for the ages.

The little soft-sculpted German guy has a full furry beard, and a signature cap. Our picture shows the wearer with his own Lederhosen suspenders and hat on, but those pieces are sold separately.

Your order will include the costume pants, and you just have to stuff the legs with newspaper or other suitable filler to achieve the desired effect! A Bavarian Adventure There's no saying what kind of adventure you'll encounter when you suit up for a trip to Bavaria, even if you're trying to bring Bavaria to you!

Just choose this Piggyback costume, and you'll be all set for the fun. Shop our entire selection of Morphsuits costumes to see more amazing choices, too!

Some people should be applauded for their simple yet genius ideas that revolutionize how we live. Like the guy who one day thought to himself, "I really like beer, but sometimes I wish I dedicate a whole day to it without people thinking I was a crazy drunk," and the first Oktoberfest was born!

Of course, we're kidding, but how great of an idea was that to make a whole festival out of beer? It's like dedicating a whole festival to petting cute animals or playing video games or eating candy.

..

basically take something you love to do and make it last a long time. Genius.

Obviously, the festivals have to end. And the beer runs out.

But it doesn't mean that the party has to end. Perhaps this year for your next costume or Halloween party, you'll think about wearing this Beer Stein Babe costume.

It's great for people celebrating their German roots, celebrating their love of oat soda, or who just want to bring a unique of ethnic uniqueness to their next costume choice. This particular costume is 85% nylon and 15% spandex, with a white tube top with elastic and ruffles at the top and bottom edges.

The puffy sleeves detach and have elastic at the top and bottom with ribbon trim. The shorts have a back zipper and attached faux leather suspenders, so you won't have to add them yourself.

It also comes with a shallow cone-shaped foam hat with ribbon, feather, and felt flower. The only thing you'd need to add is a pair of long socks and heels.

And don't forget the beer, of course.
