Sportalm

You don't see much of traditional Austrian clothing in Vienna. After eight months I count a total of zero lederhosen. Perhaps they never recovered from the PR disaster of having one particular local boy [a] wear them in public and evangelizing them. With fashion houses being very sensitive as to who is seen in media with their creations[b], having your clothes worn by Hitler could be something of a public relations nadir.

Either way, the gemütliche people at SportAlm[c] thinks that the time is right for a comeback. Go on, grab a pair of lederhosen for around 200 euro.
