Your online search for broadfall work pants is over! Here are Better-Bilt broadfall work pants made by Gohn Brothers Manufacturing from Middlebury, Indiana. And just what are broadfall pants? They have a drop front fastened with buttons, rather than a fly. This reflects the way pants were often made prior to 1900, before the zipper was utilized in the garment industry. Today broad fall pants are widely used among the Old Order Amish community, as well as similar groups such as some Old Order Mennonites and Brethren. These pants would also be ideal for men looking to dress in an authentic nineteenth-century manner, for historical re-enactments, museums, or folk festivals. Wear these pants with a long-sleeve cotton shirt, suspenders, and a period hat (straw or fur), and you've got the right look!
Better-Bilt broadfalls are made in Middlebury, in the heart of Indiana's Amish & Mennonite country, by Gohn Brothers Manufacturing Company, which has provided clothing to the Amish and other Plain communities for more 100 years.
