Dave in Maine,
Trachtenmode is definitely not traditional hunting clothing. Hunters hardly ever, if ever wore kurzhosen; and then only the hardest core bergjaeger. I hunted with a Bavarian berufjaeger in the Alps and he wore kniebundhosen, just as I did. Wide brim hats were widely available and often worn, but I couldn't find one in the above advertisements. Traditional color was olive green, but grey, brown,
or black were acceptable. Red or hunter orange were considered an insult to the other hunters "ansprechen" ability; but is now required at some hunts. It is all distressing to this old Jaeger. Maybe the revival of the old traditions will bleed over to the hunters clothing.
