Today, Lederhosen are not only a symbol of regional identity. Although many traditional garment manufacturers emphasize the regional character of their products, many stages of production are often far from regional. This factsheet examines the supply chains, working conditions, and environmental impacts of leather processing and production, highlighting various issues. It discusses how leather and traditional clothing companies in Germany are responding to these problems and what is needed to improve the situation for workers along the supply chain.
