Blue Jeans have ousted the Alpine lederhosen from the (Bavarian) scene. Right on time for the annual beer fest season the Munich-based designer duo from Geppebba have declared war on the classic five-pocket and are giving the lederhose a contemporary makeover with their 'Oipnglügg' (translates as "Alpine joy").
And this is what it looks like: made of high-quality 13.5 oz denim, the 'Oipnglügg' looks like a mix of traditional lederhose and the Geppebba classic, the drop-crotch trousers. The unisex trews are embroidered with agave cactus flowers and sun motifs and come equipped with deep pockets in which either a beer pitcher or a large bottle of Jägermeister would fit comfortably. And in a smaller pocket in the inside flap there is room for some snuff or other herbal products.
Made in a classy manufacture close to Venice, the short versions are available from their own online shop in a limited edition of only 95. Looks just grand, the Oipnglügg!
