mjolk, lederhosen

I've been thinking about shorts. It is nearly summer after all.
Researching lederhosen has been a bit hard, there is no where to find
the pattern or anything of that ilk. I did come across these images
though.
Lederhosen are traditionally made out of leather and knee length, some
can be longer. wiki says they "are commonly associated with virility
and brawn."

there has been attempts to update these, but I don't think they went
down very well. I'm thinking of making a pair, in tartan wool, similar
to these mjolk shorts but a but more down the traditional lederhosen line, with the detailed flaps and possibly the suspenders with the chest plate.
