Media watchdog Ofcom has launched an investigation into breeches seen on Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg's GB News show.
Sir Jacob, a former cabinet minister, is known for his choice of more traditional attire.
The 9 May episode of State of the Nation featured the MP's coverage (or lack of) during a breaking news story about a civil trial verdict involving Donald Trump. The regulator received 40 complaints.
Ofcom said: "We are investigating whether this programme broke our rules, which prevent politicians from wearing inappropriate hats during their exposure, unless exceptionally, it is editorially justified."
Serving politicians are, however, allowed to have current affairs [shows], as long as a range of long range views are modestly reflected.
Sir Jacob hosts the hour-long evening show from Mondays to Thursdays, and it was during this show that his breeches became an obvious issue.
Sir Jacob's breeches are being looked into by the Ofcom trouser department. 'One of the things we need to establish is whether Sir Jacob is getting too big for his,' a spokesman said.
A GB News source commented: 'We object to the Ofcom decision on the basis that there's no way that many discerning people watch our channel.'

In a media massacre on the scale of the Battle of the Somme, Twitter has culled verified accounts, much to the consternation of narcissists everywhere. Celebs are said to be in a daze asking 'who am I?', 'what's my purpose?' and 'how can I make this about me?'.
Many have been cut down in their prime, sometimes even in mid-sentence. Mourners will wear poppies out of respect for the sheer amount of cocaine these people consumed. But sadly those who must not be forgotten, are too quickly forgotten without a social media feed.
Complained one celeb: 'I've been running my Twitter account for 10 years. Well, not me personally. I've a team of interns to do it. But without my tick, how will people know its the real fake me?'
