AMISH MEN'S CLOTHES OVERVIEW

[@rumplover1]

I very recently requested this information. Thank you very much. The only further question I have is, do you know where I can get a pattern? As far as I know, there are NO Amish in Western Canada. Again, thank you so much for posting this excellent information. (I look forward to seeing the winter wear video when the time comes!)

[@apronacres7292]

Candle on a Hill's website has men's patterns as well as women/children's www.candleonthehill.net/store/catalog.php. Patterns may not be exactly like Doug's but are a good starting point.

[@apronacres7292]

correction - Candle on Hill does have the men's pants and jackets but am not seeing a shirt and those 2 patterns are from Friends Patterns, which has more options friendspatterns.net/catalog.php?category=3 so start with Friends Patterns

[@JustOneAsbesto]

That kind of surprises me. I live in Ontario, and, I don't know about any Amish close by, but we definitely have a pretty good sized Mennonite community up not too far north of Toronto, sort of generally around the Barrie/Lake Simcoe region.

[@rumplover1]

Oh there are PLENTY of Amish in ON. I saw plenty of the "share the road" signs on the highways. In AB, we have Mennonite and Hutterite, but no Amish.

[@rumplover1]

Thank you!

Barn Door is a cute nickname for those trousers. But they are called BROADFALL TROUSERS. They have a long history. When the Amish began using them they were the majority style for all men, including the USA Founding Fathers, and many, many more. What happened was, someone invented the "fly" for trousers. At first the fly was controversial because it drew so much attention to a man's private area. Back then the fly was always a button fly. Zippers didn't exist yet. When I was in the US Navy in the 1970s we had BROADFALL trousers for our "blue" uniform pants. They had 13 buttons, and a gusset in the back to tighten them up. No belt. But the white uniform had a regular fly and a belt. So, as styles changed, the Amish and some Mennonites just stayed on the same path. So you still see broadfall trousers today.

Wow! Thank you for sharing that information, very interesting! Have a nice day! Moira From England.

[@aldod3937]

Thanks for the info

[@blueamenaa749]

I didn't know. Thank you.

[@wilhelmseleorningcniht9410]

flies actually predate falls, that's what was generally used from whenever the codpiece fell out of fashion to roughly the early 17th century. Late 17th century is when the ancestor of the 3 piece suit popped up. Not sure if they had falls then but I know they did at least in the early 19th century

[@madamestrawberry4321]

After a year in storage, the sewing machine is due to make an appearance today in front of the south window for light. Can't wait to see her again in all her gloriousness. You are inspiring me to "build" clothing ♥ Never heard it put like that, but I like it!

[@lljones0]

I would like to see the fall and winter wear videos to be made. i am interested in this as well.

[@Christinamomof8]

Pappy Jones me too 😊

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

Count me in..:)..and i am in Australia...!!!

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Very informative. While we don't necessarily want to be Amish, we appreciate their simplicity.

[@Zarealy]

Very cool! I love that you are supporting the community around you too! I am interested in seeing the winter wardrobe as well.

[@contact3604]

Me too! Moira

[@transferred2light]

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Would love to see the winter clothes and women's clothes too.

[@stumpbumpers]

I guess that is where the old saying, "Better close your barn door before your horse gets out" comes from.

[@debbytomlinson9970]

Appreciate the info. Comfort and Function matter most !! My 15 year old son was just laughing hysterically yesterday about the Amish man who burned the shirt. He's the one who said your beard was... Magnificent. This boy !!! Going in the bathroom... checking for new whiskers every other second.... lol. Love those skirts Stacy has gotten from Rain Country too !!!!

[@laurieasmus9998]

Thanks Doug! This was great info! I am a seamstress and never knew these things about how the Amish make their clothes, with the button limitations, etc. I am starting to think how these could be made in some version for a woman. I will be on my own homestead by next spring, and will be looking for some more simple, comfortable, and easy care clothing. Maybe in linen?? Thanks for sharing your life with all us subscribers! Love your channel!

[@metallicleoraa]

I really appreciate how true to yourself you are, and how you both can be yourselves! I have dresses made by Amish ladies and a wool shawl! If I lived in the country I would wear them a lot more. Love simple clothes!

[@marissamills]

Hello Doug and Stacy! I know this video has been from several years ago but we would love to see an updated winter version and now would be the perfect time of year to show us!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Cool on deck for this week or so

[@patriciawoodward2566]

Our new homestead is in a heavily populated Amish area. Very friendly folks. Though we are not off grid, it is not uncommon to sit on our front porch and see a family drive by in their buggy. They always wave. We are going to be talking to a man in our community to do work on our barn. He comes highly recommended and we would rather give the work to our neighbors and become part of the community we now call home. I love your videos. God bless you as you continue on your journey.

[@OklahomaBeekeeper]

I used to live in Scottsville, Kentucky with the Amish living all around my farm. Greatest people I've ever known. I had always wanted to ask them about making me some clothes, but didn't know if they would have. Love the video.

[@deannaschlabach]

Thank you for sharing so respectfully the Amish Men's clothes. It really is very practical. My husband's family is all Old Order Amish and they would be flattered. The women's clothing may seem matronly but for very practical and functional reasons, also. I was asked to be a part of a wedding (dishwashers! :P) and sew a dress. It took me five days to their one. You can't beat their sewing skills! Looking forward to seeing your winter men's clothing overview.

[@calhoun1968]

Yes, I would love to see the Winter Clothing update!

[@bscott9741]

Making an Amish Man's Denim Pants looks truly functional. When you first demonstrated the suspenders, I was confused becaused my knowledge of the Amish people did not allow the use of buttons. When you demonstrates the way the pants were made of denim and of a lighter cotton which lined the pockets, I more clearly understood your day to day closes.

[@ajja4038]

Thank you🌺🌸🦋👍🏼for showing us this always wondered about how they were made please I will love the update in winter clothing in future Thank you I was a silent viewer till this video but not no more I love you and Stacy and your videos you two teach me so much I'm one of your first Subscribers and always will be Thank you God Bless🦋🌺🌸🌹✝️🎉🏵😇🌈❤️👍🏼🥒🥝🍋🥕🌽🤗

[@ahamatmabrahman]

Thank you I love to sew and love to see traditional patterns from other country's I look forward to your next video on clothing and all the other work you and your wife do

[@williamwelch7]

I love suspenders! So comfortable, and you don't have to keep pulling your pants up. That's why I like overalls, too. Comfortable and functional. And I would love to the see the fall/winter Amish collection....before it hits the Paris runways :) And you should have Stacy do a video about what kind of clothing works for her during the different seasons! I'm sure there are plenty that would be interested. Off grid clothing is probably something people overlook in their prepping.

[@denesemaxie7930]

Love the overview and the support of your local community 🥰

[@628DirtRooster]

Pretty interesting the way the pants are built.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

your video is tomorrow =) you should send in your homestead homie intro

[@chopwoodfarm1974]

Yes, I would definitely be interested in winter clothing.

[@bbbb1024]

Thanks Doug! I like that the clothes are 100% cotton

[@alaskannomad]

I recently watched some good informative documentaries on the Amish communities. Some of the differences in each individual community can come down to 3 buttons on a shirt or the type of hats to even the type of suspenders. They said they can tell immediately which community you're from by these subtle differences. I thought that wad interesting. Thank you for sharing, and God bless!

[@kayladionyssiou3636]

I can't wait to see the fall/winter clothes. Been wondering about your clothes but thought it would be rude to ask. Glad to get the info without having to ask.

[@WhistleThicket]

Simple and functional! Reminds me of clothes that voyageurs and fur traders wore!

[@JustOneAsbesto]

Yes, a winter clothing episode as well, please.

[@landonreynolds3054]

Thank You for the informative video!!!! Please do share the other wardrobe videos as well. And Doug ..... please do a video on Amish men's grooming. Many would like to know especially about the facial hair, and how to properly groom according to Amish standards, and why. Thanks!

[@davidlhamilton3305]

I want to see winter clothes. Since I'm watching this 5 yrs. into the future, I'll have to check out future videos of your past videos. Eventually I'll catch up.

[@barbarawashington844]

Yes, yes, yes! We are most definitely interested in the winter clothes update. Stacy could do this too if she hasn't already. My grandma's people were Mennonites from the Midwest that made their way to Brownsville,Oregon during pioneer days. They came from a predominantly Amish area, don't remember the details. It cool to learn about these things.

[@martinezfrederic1]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. I've always liked the simplicity, their customs, and the way they live in the Amish community.

[@Rose-vt2vu]

Doug , you are so funny, building clothes. Never heard that before. Most entertaining . Thanks for a great vid

[@Jenniferde2007]

I want to see Stacy's skirt video....this was great too Doug. I knew the Amish who helped my great grandfather on his farms in northern Indiana...love the culture very much. You are so right every Amish community has their own rules for dress, style of buggy, etc. I am glad that you find their clothes functional and comfortable.

[@kylepope5591]

thanks again for all good info u both have shared in your videos from the Pope in West Fargo ND

[@littlebrookreader949]

Yes! Show us the winter men’s clothing! Thanks! Great! 👍👍

[@FlowerChild0019]

I've sewn clothing for folks at Fort Concho in my area. 1800 period dresses and shirts. Love the info. sharing.

[@valeriegonzalez8313]

Yes I would love to see the fall and winter clothes

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

Count us in for the winter fashion parade.....we are in Australia and watch all your videos with enthusiasm...thanks..:)

[@homesteadblessings8886]

yes please . would love to see the winter wear

[@celinebridges7817]

Hey Doug and Stacy. I love the video. I sew all the time . Look very simple and easy to sew . We love your Amish clothes .and yes we love to see your winter clothes . Like to see how they make the men coats.. another fun video. Thanks guys.. Blessing 👩‍🌾

[@aminafamiano-snowbird3573]

I look forward to seeing the seasonal men's clothing Doug spoke of...☆♡☆

[@annettefournier9655]

We are not Amish but my grandmother was a very accomplished seamstress/ tailor and earned her living this way. She never used a pattern either. Just a few measurements and a quick sketch of what the client wanted. The client brought in the materials as well. And I can't sew to save my life tough I've tried. lol.

[@raymondstrunk4770]

of course I'll want to see the winter episode!

[@StIsidoresFarm]

Thank you for doing this video. Would definitely be interested in the winter version. Only one small New Order Amish community in NC, which is about 2.5 hours away from us, but our daughter starts school up in Lancaster, PA this fall. Beyond videos we had never seen any communities in person, but visiting her school, we saw folks all around in the countryside. Awesome to see modern equipment drawn by six horses in the field!

[@vernahelvik8678]

Yep I would like to see winter clothes

[@russelldutson3457]

I do want to see the Fall and Winter clothes.

[@DrValerie800]

Fascinating! I'd like to see the winter update.

[@melvinnixon2378]

YES PLEASE SHARE WITH US THE WINTER UPDATE.... .

[@formation1now517]

Absolutely more clothing videos! I believe the pants style is best and most functional I have seen. I bet they are comfortable as well. THANKS!

[@rondakaufman2471]

That was an interesting video. I'd never thought about the different styles..Winter clothing would be nice to see.

[@kinggolde6147]

I definitely want to see the winter and fall men's attires. This is what I will need to learn how to make for my sons and husband. Thank you🤗

[@j.t.waterman737]

Oh Doug Thankyou! I know this style was how men used to ware cloths styles that date back to Buckskinner era & the shirts were longer because they used to double for night shirts. The pants date back to the civil war time. I know due to we (my late husband & I) used to do re enactments & you had to have period correct stuff. They was very picky about it. We also had some actual clothes from those times too. All I can say is Man are they comfortable too. Thankyou for I am not the only one who knows how good they hold up. I make our clothes & no I'm not Amish. But I do love teaching my young ones the old ways. Can't forget the Red long handles for winter with the button flap on the back & red flannel shirts for winter too.

[@seriouslyomg1234]

Those pants are neat, I've never seen that style. Neato thank for sharing Doug. 😊😊

[@marlaharmon]

Yes. Please do a winter video about clothes. Also, I'd love to see a video about the Amish in your community that shows tells about their customs and beliefs. I love all things Amish.

[@cypressacresleatherwork4343]

So I grew up in Holmes County Ohio completely English but wore Amish pants and shirts for about 10 years and have never worn anything since that was as comfortable. I live in Florida now and wish I could find somewhere to have some made. There was a neighbor Amish lady that made mine for me and boy did I love those pants lol

[@mossy1s]

Thanks, yeah let's see the winter stuff too. Great video.

[@philipprigmore8723]

Look very comfortable and a whole lot less binding than modern jeans. The shirt looks super comfortable. Yes, I would like to see the winter wear also. Sorry, Stacy, but us men sometimes are concerned with our fashion also. LOL. And that's coming from this 65 year old man. See you in the next one. Have a great day. And God blessings on you.

[@cynthiahiatt7442]

Simple, functional, and looks very comfortable. That's all you need. 😊

[@roybreeden8928]

Thanks Doug! That's interesting how the Amish make their clothes.

[@Johnrider1234]

we bought a place on manitoulin island great beef farm with barn no house 100 acers amazing amazing land

[@daveweller9579]

Winter clothes would be great thanks so much for the video

[@sammijoywilson1068]

Love to see the winter wardrobe too.

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

Definitely wanna see more! Here in Australia, clothing is a major expense and getting anything with suspenders is rare, difficult and specialized. Seriously like my suspenders so have to make 'em all myself.

[@saltmywords8660]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see more about the winter clothes (also the why's for 3 buttons on shirts and only hooks on the coat...etc) and women's clothes. Thanks again. - Bobbi

[@victorcastle1840]

Thanks for the video on this. Would like to see the Winter clothes.

[@TheWonderwy]

Interesting video. Good info as usual. I am interested in almost everything and this was all new for me. Thanks Doug.

[@frogman6887]

Yes, I'd like to see the men's wardrobe for fall and winter. Thanks for the review.

[@aliverseidge]

I would really like to see the fall and winter wear. Thank you.

[@DiligentProsperous]

Thank you for showing us the clothes. I always wondered why you wore them and how they were as far as buttons or how they function. Interesting. Thank you. :-)

[@dorianchriste8645]

I would like to see "your video on the Amish men's Winter clothing. I have always been fascinated by Amish life. I came close to buying an old Amish farm and making it my home back in the late 1960s. That would have been an awesome life.uû

[@sagapoetic8990]

Would love to see the clothing for fall and winter - just enjoyed this, thank you for explaining and demonstrating

[@larrya.mccloskeysr298]

Yes I would like to see the winter clothing

[@michaeltodd2923]

Saw some kind of interview you did a few months back, when I saw it I mean, but im glad I finally found your channel. I live in Tampa Bay Florida and it's honestly one of the best place ever. People come from all over the world to vacation here and I was lucky enough to be born here and live for thirty extremely rad years but now I'm older and want to start a family but I Don't want them exposed to the city. People are too far gone and I think I want to move off the grid a bit. I vacation in the Georgia woods in the winter most years and I love it. We have Mennonites there and I really like the way they live. Besides the cell phones and cars thing but whatever. I just Don't think I could raise children in the city anymore. Thank you guys for all your content. New sub.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Michael Todd happy you found us as well and agree with what you just said.

[@EspritPA]

I wouldn't mind seeing some footage of the Amish shops you may frequent. I have pics of the backs of the Amish and their shops, I make sure not to photograph any faces. They knew I was taking pics but appreciated my not showing their faces. Instead of people always wanting to see how they live, maybe you could teach about them so their way of life can be brought to the outside world. Yes, to more clothing videos as well!

[@bscott9741]

I look forward to seeing the winter clothing which the the men and women wear as the temperatures. Barb Scott

[@urbsimp5273]

Doug. Thanks for the video on the clothing. We'd love to see a video on the winter attire. Keep up the great work guys.

[@jjo5375]

Thanks for the pants demo. I've lived one county over from Lancaster, PA and never even knew they had special patterns for the men. It's pretty intricate, but if it makes them happy, well.....cool! : )

[@bernardflood8289]

Greetings from Ireland. I'd love to see the fall & winter collection.

[@insanelyinterestingcoy-hot5148]

Would like to see the winter style clothing you would wear. Thank you, Scott

[@tracyhayward1920]

Yes I Would like to also like to see the fall/winter clothes also

[@EdEstes]

Thanks for sharing Doug. Yes - interested in your fall attire as well. So the clothes are custom made for each individual? As a tall man, you must love the fit!

[@maryreed2619]

Hi Doug! Fascinating to hear. I've spent alot of time visiting Lancaster Pennsylvania and there is a large community of Amish people there. TFS...Hugs to you and Stacy 🤗👍👍👍👍

[@josephg.3370]

Yes, I'm interested in seeing a winter wear video.

[@annotoole5864]

[@nearlyorganicnoshing2798]

The shirts look so comfy. I kinda want one for myself.

[@albertgriffith8013]

I would love to see the fall and winter clothes too.

[@simidhel]

Found this fascinating and would certainly like to see a fall and winter episode.

[@thorson7842]

[@SproutingHealth]

Definitely interested in winter wear 😃 Plz n Thx. Thx, D & S! Love y'all!

[@KKnits]

Love to see the winter clothes too very interesting!

[@yvonnejohnson2109]

Thank you for sharing. I wonder how the Amish cloths worked for the men. I would like to see how there fall and winter cloths are. That is one thing I miss and that is seeing the Amish. We use to live in PA.

[@ksingleton101]

Love to see the Winter Clothing

[@deniseview4253]

wow, the jeans are so different. yes. I'd like to see the winter clothes.

[@KoalityofLife]

Very interesting video. Yes please show some of the winter clothing. :)

[@CarrieNita]

Super interesting! I would like to see the winter clothing.

[@haroldmarsh716]

YES Please, I would like to see the Amish winter Fashion Line

[@lisabooker6405]

Love this video. Gives an idea of other ways to make your own clothes should you need to. I think some of the modern ways are made way more complicated than need be. I'd love to see the fall wardrobe as well! TFS Love, hugs and Gods Blessings always, 💕✝️💕 Lisa

[@TheConstitutionalGuardian]

I think that was the best instructional video you gave over the other videos. Not that the others were bad, just that I enjoyed it over ALL the videos you have produced. #simpleliving now just need to find an online store to buy the simple cloths... Next question, is how you maintain the washing of the cloths that you wear.. Alohad

[@ournovascotiaadventure1619]

I would also like the update for winter, I wish I had Amish around me, so much to learn from them. Great vid
