hen President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo delivered a press conference on Saturday morning to address the previous day’s rally in Jakarta, it was not his words that sparked interest among internet users, but his clothing.

Even Jokowi's son Kaesang Pangarep joined in the jacket hype, wittily suggesting that those curious about where the President had bought the item should visit the food businesses owned by his brother, Gibran Rakabuming.
Yg pengen tau jaketnya beli dmn, silahkan mampir @markobar1996 @MOMMILK_SOLO @CeKopi @Pastabuntel @CakarDheer @Chilli_Pari dulu

@prawirowijaya later declared the brand of the jacket, pointing out his discovery by including images that compared the one Jokowi wore with a model's. "You all can thank me later. Problem's solved!" he added.
