Trump swaps his luxury Apprentice-era suits for a $250 alternative

  • President Donald Trump showed off the label on his navy suit during a rally in Grand Island, Nebraska , revealing it was made by the affordable menswear brand Jos. A. Bank.
  • The choice marks a notable shift from the luxury Italian label Brioni, which supplied Trump's wardrobe during his reality show The Apprentice and which he has worn for years.
  • Jos. A. Bank suits typically cost between $250 and $580, compared with Brioni suits, which range from $5,500 to $16,200.
  • Social media commentators noted that Jos. A. Bank suits are primarily manufactured overseas in countries such as China and Bangladesh.
  • Critics highlighted the contrast between wearing foreign-made clothing and Trump's political emphasis on U.S. manufacturing and trade tariffs.
