This might sound odd, but now is the perfect time to get Bavarian fashion for that very special Oktoberfest fan in your life. “How so?” we hear you ask, when the Munich festivities are still 10 months off! Well, there are actually several very good reasons to look for lederhosen, dirndls, and associated fashion gear now.
For a start, this is the time of year when we as an online shop selling Bavarian clothing have the fewest orders. So without giving away too much by way of trade secrets, you’re buying “anti-cyclical” and can expect to find some good deals on our site – the kind of sales discounts we’d be crazy to offer in late summer when all of our customers take a collective look in the calendar and realise that the Oktoberfest is only one month off…
Secondly, buying way ahead of time is great way to make sure you get the right fit for your Munich-mad love one. Even with our fantastic size-guide, lederhosen and dirndls can be difficult to gauge right if you’re buying first time round, so ordering with almost a year left to go gives you ample opportunity to make use of your 100-days right of return if necessary.
Finally, if you’re looking for a surprise gift, this really will be unexpected. Even the most ardent Wiesn-goer whose eyes go over all misty when they talk of the Oktoberfest will probably not be thinking too much about it in December, so they’ll likely be roundly – but pleasantly – surprised to open up a pair of genuine leather breeches or a real Bavarian dirndl on Christmas Day.
If you’re looking for some handy stocking fillers to go with, by the way, or know that your Oktoberfest-mad family member is already satisfied with their current pair of lederhosen or dirndl dress, why not take a look at our range of accessories including traditional “charivari” trinklets for leather trousers and handbags to match dirndls.
And find me a man who’s not secretly happy to get a decent pair of socks on Christmas morning…
