CeBIT 2007: Lederhosen for the 21st Century

This pair of sturdy-looking lederhosen from Lodenfrey (makers of mitteleuropean outdoors-wear and a kind of German answer to Burberry) feature an integrated MP3 player hemmed-in to the thick layers of suede, with surface controls ready for action while the user is busy roaring and slapping tankards together at Bavarian festivals. From IOL:

"Leading the parade of gadgets are the leather trousers preferred by thigh-slapping Bavarian dancers but this time they have a modern twist: a sewn-in cellphone. The lederhosen from century-old German all-weather clothier Lodenfrey feature a mouthpiece embedded in the suspender straps and a row of unobtrusive olive green buttons down the side of the leg."

Beerproof to 30m.
