JB’s a new kind of Democrat. He’s building a cooler, more approachable identity for the Democratic Party.
And he’s doing it from the bottom up.

Think it is a darn good look. Hard to critique the outfit as I often dress like that.
Jacket could use a few more wrinkles, but all things considered Governor is looking sharply dressed for the Fair. My only suggestion would be adding a Sox hat.
Caption — “Governor’s Dressed Up for his First Corn Dog of the day at the Fair”.
“Companies see all the good things happening here in Illinois, that’s why they want to move here, and that’s even more good news for the state and its people. And so I am thrilled to stand before you today and announce the creation of 250 new jobs at a new JNCO factory in Rochelle, which we will be breaking ground for next week.”
- Bruce( no not him) - Friday, Aug 12, 22 @ 10:59 am:
They told me I could drive the big truck, if I wore jeans.
Honestly, I dont get it— we are making fun of what—someone’s outfit or someone showing up at the State Fair and promoting his state. I am over commenting on people’s personal appearance.
His politics? His policies? Go For it. His outfit? Come on
The absolute most dreadful politician look…. Jacket, no tie, blue jeans, loafers. You are required to be a politician if you wear that. No one else would.
He threw a sportcoat over jeans and a button down. Who cares?
The jeans don’t fit well, and a billionaire should be able to get custom jeans that fit, but there a lot more important issues with JB Pritzker than his jeans.
Those are lace up Oxfords not loafers and the tan color is actually on trend. Wearing a necktie to the fair would be over dressing.
Denim with a sport coat is completely on trend currently, especially on Friday but should be tapered so you don’t look like you were just milking cows.
What polls is JB looking at that compelled him to raid Darren Bailey’s wardrobe?
I was going to wear my Canadian Tuxedo, but the denim jacket is in the wash.
- Back to the Future - Friday, Aug 12, 22 @ 12:07 pm:
Agree that he is wearing a suit coat which only adds to the overall very cool look.
Thinking this is the guy I knew who I voted for who is comfortable in his own skin and knows how to get out and enjoy the fair.
Thinking perhaps an Illinois based green John Deere hat would go great with the brown shoes, comfortable pair of jeans, suit coat and checkered suit.
Now that JB has taken over the mantle from Speaker Madigan as the most powerful Democrat in Illinois, he needs to keep with the tradition and wear those pants at least 12 inches higher.
- Give Us Barabbas - Friday, Aug 12, 22 @ 12:33 pm:
The jacket was suggested by someone else because they always put him behind a lectern for these speeches so the pants are cropped out in camera shots. Makes him slightly more formal for that idot presser or whatever, then he can drop the cost and walk the fairgrounds.
“What the well-dressed man ISN’T wearing this season–full photo shoot inside.”
Seriously, I have limited fashion sense, and this just is so wrong on so many levels. JB looks like a used-car salesman/cowboy or something with this “I dressed myself, Mommy” look. He could have gone with some dark jeans and the dark sportcoat (both with better tailoring for his size; he can afford it), and dark shoes/boots.
Oh my lord does he look awful and sloppy. Totally unprofessional. He’s comms team and wife deserve a swift reprimand for letting him leave the house like that.

No one is reading me. Get over yourself. It’s Rich’s work folks read.
