where to buy hutterite suits

[StreetRacerX]

I'm looking to purchase those black formal suits you see hutterites wear, the ones with the puffy shoulders, im also interested in the "pioneer" styled hat.

Google hasnt yielded any results, any ideas?

It's been years since I have lived in Lethbridge but I could have sworn the Hutterites in the area shopped at Progress Clothing. Worth a shot.

Hutterites make their own clothes.

Fixed. They're always looking for new DNA. Just don't mind all the elders watching while you "donate" to make sure no one is enjoying themselves.

Hahaha swear to god its impossible to get these suits anywhere, I'll probably have to get them from the source, and I dont intend on leaving anything behind.

The suit is for a buddies wedding party

Hahahaha, I'll find out for you when I get back to the farm. Hutterites and Mennonites all have the same apparel, locked into the late 1800's. :nut:

Go to the farmers market or colony and ask them..made to measure.

Seriously? :eek: :rofl:

The problem is you are looking for "Hutterite" which are relatively rare in most places.

You need to look for Amish or specifically Mennonite outfits. Virtually identical clothing and it is readily available in the US. Amish can be difficult to find as they don't use electricity so no computers, Mennonites on the other hand are free to wild with kilowatts

Hang around the Airdrie WalMart for a few minutes and you'll probably run into a colony of them. I don't think you can buy suits like that from any local store but they might custom make one for you.

[HHURICANE1]

Probably the only place you're going to find one, short of joining a colony, is a costume shop.

[Kritafo]

you should check out the Mennonite thrift store

lmao, thanks for all the suggestions folks, I knew it would be difficult to find one of these but I won't give up yet.

[beyond_ban]

They're always looking to make money, so if you were able to ask a random group of them I'm sure they'd oblige.

[Hallowed_point]

Tell them you're starting a new colony and need a suit asap? :dunno:

Don't know much about Hutterites, eh.

If you swapped out "Hutterite" for any other demographic (Blacks, Jews etc.) this thread would get blown up for racism.



Don't be a douche bag and approach people like a circus attraction asking to buy their funny clothes off of them. There are plenty of places you can get them online or the place that Kristafo posted.

Is "Hutterite" an offensive term? Would someone asking for a "Catholic collar" or a "Jewish hat" be considered racist?

Don't believe that an outsider can just come in and start up a colony - that said, I suspect your post above was in jest.

Don't believe it's offensive in any from - on their web sites, they refer to themselves as Hutterites/Hutterite Brtehren.

As for the clothing, I believe the black suits are made in house - more info on their clothing here (http://www.hutterites.org/the-leut/dress/).

[bjstare]

I know a few of them, and my buddies dad is an ex-hutterite.

No it is absolutely not an offensive term, its what they're called :rofl:


Also, I'd be surprised if they weren't willing to make a deal with you of some sort. They love wheelin' and dealin'.
