Please note that we differentiate between Kostüm and Tracht.  Tracht is what is worn by the people of a particular village or region.  Also, Germany is much colder than South Texas, so we have traded cotton for wool. Although our outfits are accurate replicas of the actual Tracht, since none of us are from Germany and we use Texas materials, we do not wear Tracht, we wear Kostüm.
