Rock’n’Roll is still alive. It stands for grooving rock’n’roll music of the 50s and 60s of the 20th century, for a rebellious youth and everyone who wanted to be cool: the leather jacket.
The blatant opposite embodies the lederhosen. It is in Germany the symbol of a traditional musical style and belongs to the equipment of every cool folk music group: By the way, the probably oldest lederhosen of the world is 135 years old and is located in the german Bayrischzell.
Reason enough to remember these timeless garments from the always young material on June 21st, The Music Day. It is one of the oldest, most durable, and still one of the most versatile natural materials in everyday use. Now, thanks to modern chemistry, its best properties can be preserved with an increasing eye to environmental protection and sustainability. LANXESS supports leather producers with their know-how and offers chemicals for all stages of leather production.
