As long as their doing their jobs I don't care if their wearing their birthday suits. I go to a church where the pastor wears jeans and a nice shirt and he does 3 sermons on Sunday to accommodate everyone.

He is crafting an image for Television - it's quite deliberate. He's kicking Russia's ass in the media war.

He's dressed in paramilitary gear - browns, olive drabs, Ts & fleece. It sends the message "I am in this fight, I am one of the Ukrainian people, & there is no time for formalities."

It also helps him blend in with the military so he doesn't stand out as a sniper or kidnapping target.

So eat it, Peter Schiff.

about anything, should be of any interest to me.

Hey, petey, in case you have not noticed, President Zelenskyy has rather more urgent things on his mind than his wardrobe. Go buy yourself a nice new suit and calm your nerves.

how much maintenance they require. Not a good use of anyone's time during a war.

I agree that his wardrobe choices are also part of the image he is trying to portray, and very successfully too!

I don't think dry cleaners are impervious to bombs and other explosions
