I’ve been shopping at B&H for decades. The similarity goes beyond clothes.

The Hassids and the Amish basically decided that their society should, as much as possible, try to replicate their existence in 18th century Europe.

The Amish have gone further in that attempt, but both want to block out modern influences to a large extent.

Not saying it’s good or bad, but that’s what they are doing.

living in New York City and running an electronics store isn't very 18th century.
Nothing except clothing and religious spiritual belief is "18th Century".

An on-line camera store is not 18th Century.
