While he was there, the Duggar patriarch was wearing a hooded sweatshirt with jeans. The Silver Dollar City sweatshirt features a graphic, colorful print on the chest.

In her post, Katie Joy explains that, in the Duggar family’s religion, the IBLP, people aren’t supposed to wear clothing with prints on the front. These clothing choices are “eye traps.”

In this Instagram post, Katie Joy gives fans a more complete description of the men’s modesty rules. According to the IBLP, things like graphic tee shirts and shorts distract from the “countenance” or face. The IBLP’s members should maintain a joyful “countenance” and draw attention in that way.

One of the advanced IBLP teachings reads, “Apart from your actual words, your countenance can be the most effective means you have to express the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to others around you.”

So, it looks like Jim Bob Duggar is breaking one of the IBLP’s rules about how he should dress. Typically, when the Duggars are in pictures, they don’t wear graphic tee shirts and they are often smiling.

So, did you know about these rules for the Duggar men’s clothing? Does it surprise you that Jim Bob Duggar is seemingly breaking these rules? Sound off in the comments section below, and come back to TV Shows Ace for more Duggar family updates.
