Additional Shirt
Price: $9.00
Simple patterns that have been used for hundreds of years continue to be used among the Lancaster Amish. Shirts for the men and boys are solid colors without any pattern using snaps, but no buttons. Just like with the girls, because everyone wears the same style of clothing and because the garments are handmade, there is no need to go clothes shopping at the local mall.

Sunday White Shirt and Vest
Price: $16.50
Amish boys of all ages including older gentlemen will always wear a long sleeved white shirt with a black vest to Sunday church. Just like with all of their garments, the shirts and vests are handmade by mothers or older sisters in the family. The Amish men and boys look quite dressed up as they walk along the side of the road heading towards a nearby house where they hold church services every other Sunday.

Black Strapped Pants
Price: $9.00
Traditional black pants with black straps or suspenders are always worn by Amish men and boys. The pants are made from a strong, long lasting material that can stand up to all the hard work that a man or boy does as a farmer or in other trade jobs. The black straps attach to their pants and are worn up over their shoulders eliminating the need for a belt. The pants have side pockets, but never back pockets. In winter months the pants keep a boys legs good and warm and in summer months the black pants are easily rolled up to go wading in the cool creek water.

Friend Sized Quilt
Price: $16.50
Quilts play an important role in the culture of Amish people. From the time children are young they help cut and piece together quilt squares in various patterns. The skilled hand of an older woman in the family will then sew the squares together to form the quilt top. Children again participate by stitching simple knot stitches to the quilt top, batting and bottom layer. The Sunshine and Shadow pattern on our Friendship Quilts shows diamond patters of dark (shadow) material alternating with light (sunshine) colored materials. A needle, quilting floss and instructions are included with each Friendship Quilt so if you would like, you can try your hand at knot stitching too!
