It is yet one more thing about the Amish, being used as a marketing strategy. “Amish Style” cooking and food has been used to garner business in the food industry for many years. The “Amish way of life” is a multi-million dollar avenue to attract tourists, make movies, and make all kinds of money. etc. etc. I am surprised that it hasn’t reached the fashion element a long time ago. Of course the clothing isn’t exactly what would be considered couth for this day and age, as it usually is modest.

I seriously don’t think they are insulted because from what I could see in the photos the clothing may be black, but doesn’t even remotely resemble the cut and style of their garments.

How about we set up a roadside drive in down along Route 30 and try selling "Amish Water" in bottles. Bet we would make a mint from the New Yorkers and Jerseyites!!
