Hochgern Espresso Suede Lederhosen Shorts

Espresso is the darkest brown we cut, close to black in tent light, and the Hochgern lights it up with a trail of white edelweiss down each leg. Cream piping traces the flap and pockets for a crisp outline. It is high-contrast, photogenic and easy to style with red.

Why we love the Hochgern

White on espresso is the highest-contrast combination in our brown range, and that makes the Hochgern stand out in group photos. The edelweiss trail flows from the flap down both outer legs, so the embroidery is visible from the side as well as the front. Cream piping sharpens every edge. Pair it with red gingham and white socks for a classic look, or a white shirt for a cleaner, more modern feel.

Hochgern specifications

Up close, the Hochgern shows white edelweiss trail set against the espresso cow suede, plus cream piping along the flap and pockets. Use the right-leg knife pocket of the Hochgern for a phone and the two front pockets for cash. Straps attach with buttons, so the Hochgern goes belted for casual days.

Hochgern size and fit

The Hochgern has a classic straight leg and a 4-inch inseam, so the hem sits well above the knee. Size by your usual jeans waist and order the Hochgern waist from W28 to W44. Not sure which waist? Take the smaller one: cow suede stretches about half an inch, and the Hochgern suspenders handle the rest.

Outfit ideas for the Hochgern

In our shoot we paired the espresso Hochgern with a red gingham Trachten shirt, white knee socks and dark brown haferl shoes. Keeping it low-key? Try a plain white shirt so all eyes go to the edelweiss trail. After the festival the Hochgern suits an overshirt and desert boots.

Caring for espresso cow suede

Treat the espresso Hochgern a quick brush along the nap after each festival and hang it by the straps. Mustard on the flap? Blot it fast with a dry cloth, then rub gently with a suede eraser. Keep the Hochgern in a washing machine. Our lederhosen care guide goes deeper on espresso cow suede step by step.
