HBU has little information on the material uniform shorts were made of. I think that the orginal Scout shorts were flannel. One popular early fabric was corduroy. The German Wandervogel boys wore corduroy shorts. They were also popular with French Scouts. I'm not sure what the black shorts worn by the Hitler Youth were made of.
