Some people might consider that inappropriate, but there are no laws against it.
Technically that is not true. Section 8D reads that "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel." Legally there are fines and it is punishable under federal law.
A flag is defined, by law, as: "Anything "by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag."
Cars painted as flags are therefore illegal also. There are also rules of how a flag should be placed. The union side must face northward, is one example. Flying a flag upside down is still under appeal and may be legal. The case is being tried in Cost Mes, CA.
The laws relating to the flag of the United States of America are found in detail in the United States Code. Title 4, Chapter 1 pertains to the flag; Title 18, Chapter 33, Section 700 regards criminal penalties for flag desecration; Title 36, Chapter 3 pertains to patriotic customs and observances. These laws were supplemented by Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations.
Then again, burning it in protest is protected under the freedom of speech, why not wearing it?
