What do you think??



Getting ready to order my lederhosen!!! I need to order them early and get the hang of unbuttoning them while in a hurry…

Since I drink with you often, I know you have a small bladder, I feel it would be in your best interest to add a velcro closer...
Also first beer tent will add authentic beer stains to your new hosens.

Prost...

I'm trying to decide if I will order some as well. My problem is I expect to be losing weight, so I don't want to get something that won't fit.

What a dilemma... To drink or not to drink so much, that is the question.

I am shocked by the fact that you don’t already have one!!! Chuggers, for the love of god man, buy one. They are adjustable and in demand so if you lost so much weight you don’t fit into them in 3 years from now you can sell them on Ebay and get a new one… Barbas has the right of it and I quote

“The reason I wear a lederhosen is not only for fashion. They are prety practical. The material protects against wet (beer or what ever), the pockets are plenty and most important; you can open the front in a spacious way. After a number of Mass this is pretty comfortable when to visit the pissoir.”

Just what I need, someone else bitching at me :-)

Where are you looking to purchase? I found these two sites...

(*chuckle*) sorry about the bitch I guess I have become more pashionate about this trip than I thought.. Anyway I have been looking for hosen for over the last couple of months now and have hit most ever site found on the net and I looked at both of those sites. I did like the darker brown sets shown on both sites, especially the one at http://www.hausofbavaria.com/. Though a little expensive for my ability… Until last week I was set on going with something on e-bay most of which are around $165 to $195. E-bay has a good selection from a place called Lederhosen4u located in Germany that looks really nice. Though the ones I did decide to go with I found at http://www.bavaria-lederhosen.com/en/Men/Lederhosen/
The price is in Euros but after you put in you information the price drops 11% for being purchased outside Europe. The pair you see in my post is going to cost around $195 which includes shipping. Also, it will take a few weeks to get in… So get to shopping. (bitching complete) :>
