Today you were at a Mud Sale and you saw Amish people with brand name sneakers and non-traditional looking clothes like sweatshirts over their clothing. Where do they get their street clothes from?

When Amish children are 16 years old they are free to dress and do what the want. That is why you see some Amish youth walking around in brand name clothes. When they are 18 they are free to get a drivers licenses and drive a car. They have a choice of leaving the Amish culture or joining the church. Must Amish youth join the church and get married. When they join the church they must give up all cars and modern technology and brand name clothes and dress like other Amish.
