Bible Question (short): Codes for men?

Question (full): Dear Nolan Keck, I ask in curiosity, what about a 'dress code' for men? I have lived near 'Amish country' and seen their version. I have to wonder where they got their dress code for men. It is close to a uniform, but certainly nothing like what was worn by the early Corinthian church. They certainly did not have neckties and brimmed hats. The Amish state a very similar 'code' toward women as you express above. How would you account for other 'codes' of dress and conduct that are maybe 200 years old, but definitely not 2000 years old. It does seem to me that many of the 'correct' rules are man-made extrapolations, not sola scriptura truths. Again, this is a not an idictment. In Japan there are few 'ultra-conservative' groups (my words, I hope not offensive), so I have no opportunity to ask these kind of questions. BTW, my hair is short, and so are all the men of my church, but does I Corinthians 11:6 really say that it is a shame for a man to have long hair?

Blessings, dear brother, in Jesus' name, charis
