Patriotic Apparel celebrates our warriors, but it isn’t a uniform.

You are also prohibited from wearing a uniform that is similar to that worn by the armed forces in any public place or in public view. Additionally, the Stolen Valor Act of 2005, made it a federal crime to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal or wear a uniform to represent these honors.

It is also referred to as the OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) Uniform when worn by Airmen. Sailors, Marines, Coasties, Guardians, and Astronauts. 

What makes donning an officer's uniform or badge a crime is the intent behind it. The law prohibits you from going around and acting like you're a law enforcement official. If you intend to fraudulently impersonate an officer or make someone think you are one, you could be charged. The same is true in many cases with first responders as they often have law enforcement credentials.

Civilians shouldn't wear military insignia and patches since they can give the idea that the wearer is a military member. Although wearing a military patch is not against the law, doing so might be seen as if you want to commit fraud and get financial benefits from pretending to be a veteran.

Veterans also don't use military patches unless they're in parades or on formal occasions. The wearing of military insignia is subject to specific rules that apply to each armed forces branch. 

Military personnel may also be compelled to wear their medals, patches, and insignia as a part of their uniform. Therefore, most veterans just don’t wear their medals on their civilian jackets.

Seeing a civilian wearing a military uniform in public may offend some veterans. However, several variables, such as the intent of the person donning the uniform, frequently affect the veteran's viewpoint.

Real veterans and most civilians will take offense if someone dresses in uniform to perform unlawful acts, such as to fool people into thinking they are veterans. 

On the other hand, sporting a single piece of military attire, such as a jacket, pair of pants, or headgear, is less likely to provoke a significant reaction. Still, the clothes shouldn't have any official medals or patches.
