Size chart

Selecting the correct size for traditional Bavarian attire, such as lederhosen and dirndls, is essential for both comfort and authenticity. LederhosenHub.com provides detailed size charts and guidelines to assist customers in finding their perfect fit.

Lederhosen & Bundhosen Size chart

Lederhosen and bundhosen are crafted from genuine leather, which tends to loosen by approximately 0.5 to 1 inch after being worn a few times. Therefore, if you’re uncertain about your exact size, it’s advisable to opt for one size larger to accommodate this natural stretching.

To determine your ideal size, take the following measurements:

• Waist: Measure around your waist where you typically wear your pants, slightly above the hip bone. Ensure the measuring tape is snug but not tight.

• Seat/Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal and snug without compressing the skin.

• Thigh: Measure the fullest part of a single thigh, approximately 8 cm below the crotch.

• Inseam: Measure from the crotch down to the knee for lederhosen, or to the ankle for bundhosen.

These measurements will help you select the size that best fits your body dimensions.

Dirndl Size chart

For dirndls, accurate measurements are crucial to ensure a flattering fit. Focus on the following areas:

• Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape horizontal and snug without compressing.

• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, typically just above the belly button and below the rib cage.

• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, ensuring the tape is horizontal.

If you have a larger bust, consider choosing a size or two larger to allow for minor tailoring adjustments at the waist. This approach ensures comfort and a tailored appearance.

Bavarian Shirts and Female Shirts

When selecting Bavarian shirts, measure your neck circumference where the collar sits and your chest around the widest part, keeping the tape horizontal. For female shirts, measure the bust, waist, and hips as described above to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit.

LederhosenHub.com provides a conversion chart for shoe sizes, helping you find the appropriate fit based on your foot length. Measure your foot from the heel to the tip of your longest toe and refer to the chart to determine your size.

Suspender Length: To determine the correct suspender length, measure from your front waistline, over the shoulder, to the opposite side on the back (e.g., from the front left button to the back right button). Since lederhosen are worn higher than casual pants, this measurement ensures a proper fit.

Breaking in Leather: Authentic leather garments may feel snug initially but will loosen with wear. It’s recommended to wear your lederhosen a few times before events like Oktoberfest to allow them to conform to your body shape.

By carefully taking these measurements and consulting the size charts provided by LederhosenHub.com, you can confidently select traditional Bavarian attire that offers both comfort and an authentic appearance.
