'Zelensky is now like a rock star': people around the world want to buy a fleece jacket like the president of Ukraine

People around the world are trying to buy the M-TAC zippered fleece jacket worn by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reports Insider.

While Vladimir Putin wears designer clothes with exorbitant price tags, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky buys clothes where “normal” people buy, as Taras Rudnitsky said.

The Ukrainian manager runs M-TAC's US operations, the company that created one of the signature olive green fleece jackets the Ukrainian leader has been wearing since Russia invaded his country.

Demand for the zip-up jacket has skyrocketed since the conflict began, Rudnitsky said, and has since been responding to inquiries from people all over the world looking to buy such a jacket. “The demand for fleece is very high,” he said.

The company manufactures its fleece in Ukraine, but after the start of the war, it focused on production exclusively for the country's armed forces, meaning that stocks soon ran out.

“We hope to resupply someday, maybe after our victory,” Rudnitsky said, adding that the fighting made it difficult to continue any kind of production. “Now it is impossible,” he said.

Zelenskiy often wore M-TAC fleeces throughout the conflict, such as during a meeting with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in April. This type of clothing also features frequently in his televised addresses to Ukraine and the rest of the world.

Zelenskiy's leadership during the invasion drew admiration from both Ukrainians and international supporters.

“Zelensky is like a rock star right now,” Rudnitsky said, saying this explains why people want to dress like him and why there have been so many requests for fleece.

One of Zelenskiy's M-TAC jackets he signed was auctioned off for $110 at a May 000 charity fundraiser organized by the Ukrainian embassy in London.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged participants to bet high on the item, with proceeds going to help Ukraine during the war.

Since the beginning of the conflict, the demand from Ukrainians for other M-TAC products has also increased. Rudnitsky said that his products are practical and functional, especially in wartime, so the military is also a customer.
