More sunlight too.

  I wonder if the opposite is a factor: like most traditional clothing, Amish clothing blocks most sunlight.

    You'd have to be outside to get that "benefit". Sedentary people have sunlight blocked by their roof. Sunlight kills bacteria and viruses, stimulates vitamin D production, and has a number of emotional/cognitive benefits. Being inside 24/7 is not good for you. For most of our history we spent every daylight hour outside hunting or farming, we're adapted to this situation.
