German Schoolwear:  Lederhosen Halters (1950s)


Figure 1.--Here we see a German boy in an undated school portrait. We believe it was taken in the 1950s. Not all boys with halters actually wore Lederhosen, but in he 1950s it was common.

We see many German boys commonly wearing Lederhosen with a tange of different halters during the 1950s. This is easy to assess in individual photographs, but much more difficult in group photographs. Quite a number of boys wore H-bar shorts or even halters, but not necessarily with proper leather short Lederhosen. And some older boys did not wear the haters. Usually they were worn wuth the halters to school. Almost all younger boys wore the hlters as they were needed to hold up the Lederhosen. They seem somewhat less common for older boys, especially teenagers.
