How To Dress as an Amish Man or a Shriner for Halloween

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 06:11 AM PDT

I won a prize one year for dressing as an Amish man for a Halloween party. You can find most of the items you need at a thrift shop. Here is how I made the costume:

black suspenders
bright red button-down shirt
corn cob pipe
straw hat
black pants
black shoes
fake beard

Another easy costume is shriner. A shriner is a guy who is a member of the Shriners, a mostly fraternal organization that does charitable work. They have interesting rituals and wear strange hats. Here is the Shriners costume:

polyester pants (a couple sizes too big) with stripes or other pattern
jacket (a couple sizes too big) with a pattern that does not match the pants
white dress shirt
red fez with a black tassel
giant cigar
