Tracht is traditional German Costume . Recently, there has been a renewed interest in tracht. The tracht of southern Germans and Austria has inspired an entirely new fashion style, called Landhausmode (''Country Estate'' Style). Landhausmode , influenced by the Costume s of the Farmer s, Peasant s and rural people, and characterized by the use of Linen , Loden (a traditional type of Felt that has recently gained popularity worldwide) and Embroidery , is somewhat analogous to North American Western Wear , in that there is a relationship between Landhausmode and Alpenrock (a style of Rock Music influenced by traditional Alpine songs), just as there is a relationship between Western Wear and Country Music .
