made of leather.
Tracht
Traditional clothing cannot be complete without the mention of tracht. The style of the traditional tracht has resulted in the creation of the Landhausmode. Landhausmode sees its 
influences from the costumes that were worn by the farmers and the peasants. For this outfit, there is major use of linen and loden material.
