For very formal occasions, like Gaufeste and parades, we add or change some costume elements. These are the pieces that are either added or changed when we wear Fest Tracht.
Apron (Schuertze) -- Pale blue silk Shawl (Schultertuch) -- Pale blue silk, with long knotted fringe
Suspenders (Hosentraeger) -- Black leather Vest (Veste) -- Green wool Jacket (Joppe) -- Miesbacher Joppe, gray Tie (Kravatte) -- Pale blue silk Knee socks (Struempfe) -- Gray wool knit knee socks with cable pattern Jewelry (Trachtenschmuck)-- Silver tie pin; vest chain (optional)
For some events, we may choose to wear a modified version of our Tracht, which we refer to as Halbtracht (also informally known as "Folklore, soft mieder").
Halbtracht consists of the following elements:
Skirt (Trachtenrock) -- Red, pleated, 4 yds fabric, 2 rows black velvet ribbon, black rick-rack on bottom edge Bloomers (Unterhosen) -- White cotton or linen, knee length Stockings (Strumpfhose) -- White knitted stockings Slip (Unterrock) -- White cotton or linen, 2 inches shorter than skirt, 4 yards fabric Blouse (Trachtenbluse) -- White cotton or linen, short puffy sleeves Shoes (Schuhe) -- Black Trachten shoes Bodice (Mieder) -- Black "soft" Mieder (no boning) Apron (Schuertze) -- White cotton or linen, 3 rows of lace inset Jewelry (Trachtenschmuck)-- Halskette (necklace with many rows of chains); silver Trachten-look earrings; silver filagree hair ornaments (optional)
Shirt (Trachten Hemd) -- White cotton or linen; "collarless" shirt OK Leather shorts(Lederhosen) -- Black deer leather with green embroidery on flap and legs Suspenders (Hosentraeger) -- Embroidered flowers, wide black straps Breastplate (Quersteg) -- Individual Hat (Trachtenhut) -- Lechtaler Hut, green wool, velour, green cord Hat ornament(Gamsbart) -- Gamsbart (goat hair ornament) Half socks (Socken) -- Loferl, white with green trim Shoes (Schuhe) -- Black Haferlschuhe Belt (Gurtel) -- Embroidered leather belt (optional) Jewelry (Trachtenschmuck)-- Gamsbart holder; tie ring; club pin; Gau pin
We also occasionally wear a different costume for less-formal performances or those that occur on weeknights (when it would be difficult for our members to get home from work and change into the more formal Tracht in time). For this, the women wear a Vereins Dirndl—a maroon Bavarian dress made with fabric in a traditional pattern and with a dark blue apron to match. The blouse worn is up to each woman. The men wear the same outfit as for Halbtracht, but are allowed to wear other items that are not officially a part of our Tracht (like a Bavarian wide belt).
Junior members wear a modified version of the adult Tracht.
Shirt (Trachten Hemd) -- Long-sleeved white shirt Leather shorts(Lederhosen) -- Black deer leather with green embroidery on flap and legs Suspenders (Hosentraeger) -- Narrow leather, grey Breastplate (Quersteg) -- Individual Hat (Trachtenhut) -- Lechtaler Hut, green wool, velour, green cord Hat ornament(Gamsbart) -- Gamsbart (goat hair ornament) Socks (Socken) -- Grey kneesocks Shoes (Schuhe) -- Black leather-soled shoes
Dress (Dirndl) -- Red pleated skirt, black bodice, buttoned down the front Bloomers (Unterhosen) -- White cotton or linen, knee length Stockings (Strumpfhose) -- White tights Slip (Unterrock) -- White cotton or linen, 2 inches shorter than skirt Blouse (Trachtenbluse) -- White cotton with short puffy sleeves Shoes (Schuhe) -- Black leather-soled shoes Apron (Schuertze) -- White cotton or blue silk, depending on what the adults are wearing
