I have uploaded my 1 minute clip, older boys dancing in Lederhosen. 1989 episode. I don't have this complete. Probably there also was a Schuhplattler dance.

This is my 2nd blog about feature films, TV series and documentaries with boys, girls, men and women in sailor suits, Lederhosen and other historical clothing of the 19th century and beyond. I collect informations, trailer videos, low-res images and personal comments/ratings. This blog was introduced in 2011. 2012-2020 on Wordpress. Now I'm back. Update will take a while.

Friday on arte. Also on the ZDF mediathek. Next to the teen boy in smooth finished Lederhosen, there are some more younger boys in buckskin Lederhosen. In ep 1 Trimm-Dich-Pfad, Schweißband & Co. Scenes are from 1962 footage. At the very beginning but very brief scenes. Some scenes of pic 2 even better. I don't know why I missed these.

A handsome young boy with dental braces sitting in longer black Lederhosen in yesterdays episode Staufrust und Trassenstreit - Dicke Luft rund ums Inntal. 16.7.2025. Talking/close-up at 6. Also men in Lederhosen. Available on the ARD mediathek / BR. I haven't seen the full show. Unfortunatley he's not sitting in the first row. So rather few Lederhosen scenes. Maybe there are more in this or other (upcoming) episodes.
I've uploaded some 1989 episodes, some more to come. In episode about Great Britain (clip 1 below), is a very young Scottish boy in a kilt singing and dancing. And there's a boys choir (Liverpool Cathedral Choir singing Yesterday with the host). Rather few good scenes, mainly in the second half. Much better is my Belgian clip (clip 2, no classical choir, no sailor suit and Lederhosen though).
As it currently appears on the TOP 10, I have re-uploaded my rating 3 pic.
Main post (no more pics)

I have uploaded complete episode 22 Mittwochs um drei. Young boy in smooth finished or nappa Lederhosen with zippers, girl in bib overalls (other blog rating 5). Other scene of interest haircut of blond boy. I also have uoploaded clips of some other episodes (but no Lederhosen).

Sorry, I'm currently busy and running out of movie. I found on a VHS a very young boy sitting in Lederhosen or might be shorts (rear view) milking a paper cow. Brief scene. Kids carnival. Edition around 1990. Clip is here (as usual I uploaded several other rare clips including "Mich will ja keiner"
As announced the 2 clips. Aled Jones full VHS 60 minutes and 15 minutes Jongens van 15 , including Coir boys from the Rotterdams Jongenskoor. I had a post about this choir, maybe including this boy
Long uploads coming tomorrow, MO. Jongens van 15 (upcoming clip 2, very rare documentary series, pictured) has a Dutch choir boy also showing other boys in a sailor suit, from the Rotterdams Jongenskoor Boys Choir. Looking younger. With hat.
Aled Jones not in a sailor suit but also of interest. Full VHS. Hopefully it won't be blocked.
Please also check my other very rare clips on YouTube, channel 1user254. Like shiny shorts, US Lifeguard and Auf die Plätze..., Potje Sport (Potje Voetbal), speedos, Gli anni d'oro 1992 (bib overalls) etc.

Rating 5-6.
Has been aired yesterday on DMF. I've seen most of it. It's also on Daily. I currently don't have the time to watch it again at regular speed. Next to the main character (I think played by Rolf Pinegger ~ 9yo, pic 1 at 1h09 also great rear views, there are also some other boys (mainly supporting actors) in other Lederhosen I think including smooth finished leather or nappa. Scene at a fair at 45. Most or all with H-style suspenders.
Rear view/first scene also at 34. Later, men dancing Schuhplattler near the end. Pic 2 at 45.

Some more good scenes in the other 2 of the 4 episodes. Pic 1 from ep "Spielen wir zusammen?" with at least a boy in Lederhosen with H-style suspenders. Pic 2 from ep "So ein Spielverderber!" with a boy sitting in Lederhosen, buckskin leather, no suspenders, s zippers. Again also others in shorts. One boy is shirtless in "So ein Spielverderber!". Maybe nappa or smooth finished leather.
Rare and nice, unfortunately again poor image quality filmed off a screen. (Maybe even on purpose, as an earlier account (unknown if same or other user) was closed with mainly FWU films.

–Comment: Some boys in short Lederhosen without suspenders. Some appears like smooth finished and/or nappa leather. Also several boys in short shorts. WDR Schulfernsehen. Not sure about the subject. I think social studies. Aimed at 6-12 yo. Editor/book: Lothar Humburg (long-time editor at WDR, "Moving to Marlborough").
Another one from the 16mm channel. This time a series in 4 parts, 15 minutes each. Pic 1 from ep "Keiner mag mich" (Aka Mich mag keiner, pic 2 from "Ich bin der Größte". Meanwhile he has uploaded episode 3/4 ("So ein Spielverderber!"), but I haven't checked that one yet, probably similar. Part 4 should be "Spielen wir zusammen".
Directed by Sven Schürenberg (1922-1973). No entry of this series on IMDb. But on Filmportal.de. First aired in 1974. The series also contains puppetry "Tim und der Löwe" by Gerhard Mensching. I remember having seen this, bt maybe not in that series.

Not bad but poor image quality and I think only one very brief scene. Unknown movie makers, maybe touristic purpose.

There's another boy maybe in same suit at least pants but closed blue jacket. Scene from ep 5 set in 1914. Pic at 26. I only noticed this brief scene.

Nice but for the brief scenes rating ~4-5.
Few good scenes. Most of interest the sailor suit of the doll. Based on a podcast.

I first found 2 short clips then 5 short clips on YouTube what could almost be the complete movie. But later also one complete official clip. Director Tamela D'Amico. Quite late 1946 setting.
In fact I was searching for the 1999 Italian movie "Volare!".

Another one from the 16mm channel. Short scene at minute 12.
Rating 4-5 for this brief scene.
Aka Elternschule. Series 1964-1975. The uploader has at least one other episode. maybe more to come.

–Comment: New post. A recommendation on YouTube. Directed by Philippe Reypens on his official channel "(L'or des anges (1998)", a great documentary of choirs, must have on DVD).
2 boys, one in blue, other in white sailor suit. Unfortunatley mainly from a distance and few scenes. No entry on IMDb. 2024 upload.
Rating ~3-(4).
I found my recording and understood some names and easily found this series (ep 1). Spanish was correct (Andalusia, 1900s). I prepared for uploading, but it's already there. Ep 1-3, full series on Spanish broadcaster rtve. Keywords on IMDb missing, also no results on Google Lens. Logo is from German's Kabelkanal, now Kabel Eins (used 1992-1994).
I found and uploaded a clip of this very rare French TV movie. I don't have the complete one. Set in 1905.
Mentioned here with one screenshot I found earlier in my collection. I haven't found any pics nor clips online.
I have now uploaded a longer clip to Youtube. Better video quality but poor sound.
New clip
I found this nice 3 minute clip on YouTube. Uploader Thuiringer. Young boys and girls with Schuhplattler, Watschnplattler and spanking (Gaudiplattler/Schinkenklopfer).
I have similar posts

https://sailorsuitsandlederhosenfilmblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/st-florianer-sangerknaben.html
Watschnplattler (slap dance, slap in the face) and clapping with benches I also remember in a Heimatfilm (men) but I currently don't recall the title, maybe in So liebt und küsst man in Tirol. Or Im weißen Rössl (1952) and/or 1960)? One with young boys very similar is in Die fröhliche Wallfahrt (re-uploaded).
One Schuhplattler is in Schön ist die Welt.

–Comment: New post. Suggestion from JN. Thanks Johnny! 2 boys in rare dark blue sailor suits at minute 29. I think a brief scene only. I think Jobe and Nash Zammit-Harvey. 2 stripes, also on front of the knee length pants. I found another boy and or both boys (I think in total 3) in other clothes. Of course many in historical clothes.
Interesting suits. But for the brief scene rating ~4 only.
Based on a play. Director and main character by Leah Purcell.
Another van Trapp post, but this time the original choir. Nice short sailor suits. Unknown colors, maybe very light blue or green? Aired on Jul 3 1960. Full episode on YouTube by What's My Line?. What's My Line? - Trapp family choir; Tony Randall [panel] (Jul 3, 1960).

https://sailorsuitsandlederhosenfilmblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/sound-of-music-1965.htmlI found on YouTube this 12 minute clip with some boys from Trachtengruppe D´Wolfganger (Sankt Wolfgang, Salzkammergut, Austria). Uploader lobsterangel. Most boys are very young, though.
I think few good scenes. There are also other clips. But I haven't checked them.

–Comment: New post. At least the 2 boys (Rupert and younger Werner, played by Austrian Finnian and Christopher Hipper, younger kids by Luca Russegger and Emanuel Promberger, but I think these are the older shown); in other movies Friedrich 14 and Kurt 11 yo) and a man (I think dad) in longer Lederhosen with H-style suspenders and they and their sisters (this time the younger kids) in blue sailor suits. German title: Die Trapp Familie - Ein Leben für die Musik. Also starring Yvonne Catterfeld as Maria Gustl (Augusta). I think some more more supporting actors in Lederhosen, at least men. Also uniforms.
I found this by coincidence on IMDb and still have to check the full movie. I assume few good scenes though. Pics from the trailers. Rating ~4 for now.
I also have the 2 original movies, Sound of Music, and some more related musicals

I found on YouTube as recommendation this 2014 episode with some boys and men in traditional Lederhosen. I haven't heard about their names. Only briefly checked I think few good scenes, rating ~3-4.
Clip Stefan Mross - Immer wieder Sonntags Immer wieder Stefan Ausstrahlungstermin 5.Oktober. Uploader @Seitenangebot.
I have some other entries of this show
I have found and uploaded the full short film. And I found the title (due to the following program on my VHS). It's Tuomas. No entry on IMDb. The plot is about a young deaf boy. Now with sound. It wasn't dubbed (few dialogues). Also speedo scenes.
I will delete my earlier clip. Main post here.
Happy New Year! I found and uploaded a 4th clip of this lost series having shiny swim shorts.
