Lederhosen-traditional leather trousers

The Lederhosen makers of Berchtesgaden

For centuries, Lederhosen—traditional leather trousers—have been a staple of local attire. Even today, it’s perfectly natural to see men in Berchtesgaden wearing deerskin Lederhosen—not just on holidays.

The craft has changed little over generations: each pair is still made by hand with great care and skill. Only a few still master this traditional craft. In Berchtesgaden, two family-run businesses have been dedicated to making Lederhosen for generations—keeping this unique tradition alive with passion.

Lederhosen Aigner

Lederhosen und Trachten Aigner is a true family business. Engelbert, Engelbert Jr., and Michael Aigner are the lederhosen makers, while Christine Aigner handles the business side of things in the office.
