Nice catch! They usually don't like their photo taken. They were that way when I lived in their area.

Hi, HaarFager. I tried to be respectful of that feeling. I took this from far across the huge room, and discreetly.
I would have felt embarrassed being in their face/space - so this is very cropped!

Is that true that they do not use button on clothes, as those were invented more recently? How about a zipper?

I’m definitely not an expert on the Amish (or the somewhat similar Mennonites) but I have heard that individual communities interpret some of the rules according to what each community decides is allowed.
Just as an example - below is another photo of a different “traveling tribe” taken that day that has a different “uniform” with up to date backpacks - including zippers!
