Hang Your Lederhosen after Use
Not a lot of people know this, but Lederhosen are meant to be hung and not folded after use. Since authentic Lederhosen are those that are made out of genuine leather, so it is essential to hang the Lederhosen on a hanger after use to retain the structure of the fabric. If you fold the Lederhosen after use and put it aside, the leather can wrinkle up.
This gives the Lederhosen a terrible look and ironing the leather is not a feasible option to get rid of the wrinkles from the Lederhosen. That is why you need to hang the Lederhosen after use so that you can simply take it out and wear it straight off the hanger without having to worry about any wrinkles in the leather.

It doesn’t matter whether you purchase Lederhosen for sale online from the Lederhosen Store or from a physical outlet; if the Lederhosen is made from genuine leather it cannot be washed.
