Is it OK to wear the American flag as clothing?

It's illegal to say so. Refer to the federal Flag Code at 4 U.S. Code 8 for guidelines on Old Glory etiquette. It states explicitly that flag should not be used for clothing, bedding, or drapery. We can confirm that it is not illegal to wear American flag clothing.



Therefore, which sleeve do you wear the American flag on

Depending on the uniform, the flag can be worn on either the left or right shoulder. The flag's star must always face forward. Non-service members may wear their patches either on one or both shoulders. However, the stars can be placed on the right or back side of the shoulder. "

What place should a flag be placed on your house, other than the ones mentioned above? A flag of the United States should be hung from a staff that extends from the front wall, windowsill, or balcony. A bracket that holds the flagstaff is a good idea for attaching to the trim. Secure it so that the flag doesn't get soiled.

This is why we ask if civilians can wear American flag patches.

There are a few things you should know about wearing American flag patches on your clothing. You civilian should still have the flag patch on your arm in the same way as soldiers or other military personnel. Flag patches worn elsewhere can be interpreted as disrespectful.

What does it mean to have an American flag that is backwards-black?

I'm not sure what the black color is, but it is worn on the right arm or sleeves as though the wearer is moving forward. The flag is then blown backwards, as if blowing in wind. It is symbolic of the American military's constant forward movement and insistence on not retreating.
