Meindl Men's Knee Breeches, Deerskin

The »Long Island« hunting knee breeches are made of the best chamois tanned deerskin. Two side pockets and two buttoned back pockets provide ample space for everyday essentials. Typical for the knee breeches are the laced kneebands, which allow for individual adjustment of the leg width. Chamois tanning is one of the oldest and most original tanning methods that does not require chemicals. Anyone who has ever worn chamois tanned leather trousers knows the incomparably pleasant feel and the special charm of the leather. Deerskin is scarce and the chamois tanning process extremely elaborate, therefore, trousers like this are absolute rarities. The leather comes from red deer from the Alpine region. Shot by a professional huntsman, natural visible features are found on the skin, which only come to light after tanning and make each pair of trousers unique. Wood extracts give the leather its natural colour. Meindl's special secret, however, lies in the method of ageing the trousers so that a natural patina develops, which leather trousers normally only acquire after decades of wear. The result is a favourite piece that will accompany you for a lifetime.
