Scipio  think you would really take to Morris Dancing you have a little stick and bells around the top of your knee socks very becoming.  Google and see it for yourself.

I saw a youtube video they looked like Amish to me, I think I saw that dance in European Vacation but I could swear they were in Germany.  I have not seen it in a long time so maybe it was the UK.

The German lederhosen are remarkably similar to the outfits worn by Morris dancers.

Every summer, my little cousins wore lederhosen - all the time. Cool little boys, they looked like little Mowglis in lederhosen. They had them for YEARS, don´t know why really, but guess my aunt thought those shorts were practical!

Perhaps it was so she knew where they were because of the creaking leather

Could be! But knowing my aunt, she would have bought those lederhosen several sizes too big, so that they could wear them for ten summers - which they did! They are hard to wear down, very solid!

No the dance I saw before, I am pretty sure in the German trip of the movie European vacation.  They did wear lederhosen in it. 

The clothing and beards reminds me of Amish people.

A google search suggested it could soon be extinct so I guess I am not the only one who is not a fan.  Maybe it will be resigned to Oktoberfest activities like the Chicken dance.
