I recentaly attended a local Oktoberfest celebration in my home state of Wisconsin, USA. I love the traditional lederhosen and dirndl costumes. I even bought myself a traditional felt alpine hat. These are all mainly Bavarian traditions associated with Oktoberfest.
This got me thinking. My German side of my ancestry derives from Pomern and West Prussia. What is the traditional folk dress for these former Prussian provinces? If I was going to attend Oktoberfest, I would like to resemble a dress, or even just a hat, that most resembles my ancestral orgins rather than mimick the Bavarians.
Can somebody point me in the right direction? Photos? Links?
Thanks,
Brian
