What To Know
- At a Nebraska campaign rally, Trump revealed he was wearing a JoS. A. Bank suit.
- Some noted that Biden had previously been photographed leaving a JoS. A. Bank store.
- Critics noted the suits are made overseas, contrasting with Trump’s support for U.S. manufacturing.
It appears that President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden share something in common beyond their time in the White House: a preference for the same suit brand.
Last month, Trump spoke at a midterm campaign rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, when he flashed the inside of his suit to the crowd. Photographers snapped their pics, with many showing a JoS. A. Bank label stitched inside the jacket lining.
The photos of Trump’s suit soon went viral online, with some mocking the president’s choice of the budget men’s retail clothing company. Others pointed out how Biden was once photographed leaving a JoS. A. Bank store in his home state of Delaware.

“Trump buying Jos A Bank suits instead of Brionis is a recession indicator…,” quipped one X user, referencing how Meredith McIver, the ghostwriter of Trump’s 2004 book, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire, once told GQ Magazine that the president said he only wears suits made by the luxury Italian brand Brioni.
“There’s no way a sitting United States president has Jos A Bank on lmaooo,” said another.
“Supposedly a billionaire but wears Jos. A. Bank suits, can’t even make this s*** up,” another added.
Another wrote, “President of the United States, leader of the free world, net worth of roughly $7 BILLION Wearing a mid-market value suit from Jos. A. Bank.”
“Perhaps the only thing Biden and Trump have in common (apart from being octogenarians) is that they both apparently shop at Jos A Bank,” said one commenter.
Why is Trump wearing suits from Jos. A. Bank? It’s a perfectly fine choice if you’re on a budget, but he’s a billionaire. Even assuming he wants to buy American-made, he could get higher-quality suits from J. Press or Brooks.

Menswear reporter Derek Guy noted that Jos. A. Bank’s suits are actually now made overseas. “Interesting. Jos. A. Bank suits are all made overseas, typically in countries like China and Bangladesh,” he explained. “I wonder why Trump chose the cheap import over the US-made suit.”
Interesting.
Jos. A. Bank suits are all made overseas, typically in countries like China and Bangladesh. They carry an associate label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in the United States.

Guy went on to reference Trump’s 2025 inauguration address, in which he championed U.S. manufacturing. “We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs,” Trump said. “Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.”
Since 2014, JoS. A. Bank has operated under the parent company Tailored Brands alongside Men’s Wearhouse. According to a July 10 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, per The Huffington Post, Tailored Brands said it relies on “a network of global suppliers, primarily in Asia.”
Trump previously debuted his own menswear line in 2004, called the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, which was sold at Macy’s. According to an ABC News report, most of the collection’s accessories—including all silk neckties, dress shirts, cufflinks, tie clips, and tie pins—carried “Made in China” labels.
