Donald Trump’s Nebraska appearance produced an unexpected detail when his suit jacket opened near the end of his rally. A visible tag prompted questions about the clothing choice, especially after the president used the event to promote an economic message centered on U.S. manufacturing.
Donald Trump appeared in a Jos. A. Bank suit as he promoted bringing manufacturing back to the US
The label identified the navy suit as Jos. A. Bank. Menswear writer Derek Guy noticed the tag in a photograph by Win McNamee and said the brand generally manufactures its suits overseas, including in China and Bangladesh.
That created an awkward contrast with Trump’s remarks in Grand Island, where he boasted about bringing manufacturing back to American soil. The wardrobe detail surfaced as he left the event after ending his speech and dancing to the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” (via The Daily Beast)
Jos. A. Bank does have an American-made connection through its Joseph Abboud label, but Trump’s visible tag named Jos. Jos. A. Bank is the subsidiary of its parent company Tailored Brands, which owns Men’s Wearhouse and K&G Fashion Superstores.
Guy questioned why the president selected what he described as a cheaper imported option instead of the U.S.-made alternative. “I wonder why Trump chose the cheap import over the US-made suit,” he wrote.
Trump’s suit choice also fits a longer pattern. During his first presidency, he frequently wore Brioni, the Italian luxury brand he favored while hosting The Apprentice, according to The New York Times. The Daily Beast also reported that Trump Store merchandise sold at Trump Tower has carried “Made in China” and “Made in Vietnam” labels.
Trump Mobile has faced another manufacturing contradiction. The service initially promoted a phone as “built in the United States,” but that wording later vanished. Afterwards, it was reported that the device closely replicated a phone introduced by a Taiwanese company two years earlier.
