Turns out, there’s a good chance those pink jackets were gifted to the men on the show. Former Bachelor Nick Viall recently opened up on his podcast, The Viall Files, to discuss the “gift bags” that are given to contestants.

“Every season you get a gift bag when you show up. I guarantee you there’s a blazer company that gifted the guys different colored blazers,” he said. “I’m certain that’s what happened. I’m certain that’s what it is. I haven’t asked, but I would be shocked if that’s not it.”

This explains a lot. Former contestant Jaclyn Swartz previously told Refinery29 that she received a bag of goodies on her season as well, which included bathing suits, clothes, nail polish, and even a hair wand. Jillian Harris also confirmed on her blog that the swag bags are a staple in the Bachelor franchise, adding that the bags are filled with clothes that producers want contestants to wear on camera.

This also explains why there are other colored blazers—like this cranberry one that Dylan wore—floating around the mansion outside of the pink ones. It’s safe to assume that if blazers did come in the gift bags, they’re likely different colors and fans just zeroed in on the pink ones. For now we can only hope the salmon jacket will be addressed—and worn!—on the “Men Tell All” special, which airs July 22.
