Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL] professed to be “concerned” about the decision, which was made to accommodate Senator John Fetterman’s (D-PA) preference for gym shorts and hooded sweatshirts.
“The senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend,” insisted Durbin, “but I think we need to have standards when it comes to what we’re wearing on the floor of the Senate, and we’re in the process of discussing that right now as to what those standards will be.”
While the 26-year Senate veteran pulled his punches with Fetterman, he had relatively harsh words for Schumer.
“I can’t understand exactly what he [Schumer] was thinking at that point. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until I speak to him but I think the Senate needs to act on this.”
Manchin has floated a proposal to reverse changes to the Senate dress code that permit members of the upper chamber to dress as they please.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed this week that senators, but not their staffers or reporters, would no longer be subject to dress requirements. The move appeared to accommodate Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, who prefers to dress in athletic shorts and a hoodie.
The change prompted scoffs from lawmakers, especially Republicans, and Manchin now seeks to revert the dress code to its prior regulations. The proposal reportedly would set the dress code to align with the rules that immediately predated Schumer's changes, The Hill reported.
It remains unclear how many lawmakers have endorsed the proposal, though Democratic and Republican senators such as John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., have both expressed support for revising the dress standards.

Compromise.
$20 on Fridays allows Senator, staffer or reporter to wear jeans and a collared shirt within the Senate Chambers. The collective pot will rotate among six charities which will be chosen by a bipartisan committee at the beginning of each year.

You’re not old enough to remember that.
I remember Tom Landry… And even more recently, Ditka always wore a tie and almost always a jacket. Mike Nolan and Jack Del Rio were two coaches in the 2000s that wore suits…

Why are they all hoodies? I don’t think any of those guys would wear hoodies except for Teddy, and his would have been camouflage.
