Traditional costumes: knitted waistcoat. This traditional german knitted 'strickweste' is somewhere between a waistcoat (vest, if you're american) & a gilet. & it will keep you cosy & warm whether you're out hunting, or simply enjoying a drink or two sitting outside the bar. It's made from a cotton/acrylic blend, so it both breathes well & is easy to care for, & is available in brown, beige or dark grey. It looks perfect with lederhosen, but is versatile enough to be worn with ordinary contemporary clothes as well.
