Bavarian Costume Stein, hand-painted, pewter lid

The forerunner of what we know today as he "Bavarian Leather Pants" was the so-called "Cu-Lotte" in the 17th century. This were knee-length pants made of silk or leather for the nobility. The leather for the nobles was made of stag or deer, while the rural population made their leather from sheep or goats at that time. During the age of romatinicism and the return to old values accociated with it, the preservation of costumes was promoted more and more. In 1853, the Bavarian King Maximilian issued a decree on the "enhancement of national sentimel, especially national costumes". s the development over the year proves, leather pants shall not go out of fashion. As on that stein, the Lederhosen not only should, they MUST have patina. These include long-wearing heirlooms and trousers that are so stiff that they literarily can "stand up" by themselves. And only when the matte surface is greasy due to wear do the pants truly earn the name "Krachlederne". Since a few years, the classic leather pants have become the cult object of the younger generation in Bavaria again. As you can see, the leather pants do have a quite long tradition and have never gone ouut of fashion. And so are steins too. Keeping this in mind, it is just logical that there has to be a stein in the shape of a Lederhose. Use this stein to dress up a beer in a Bavarian Lederhose and enjoy!
