I think I saw one of those on a grandma at a tea party rally once. Like, every single grandma at every single tea party rally.

If you want something like the first one why not just go to a thrift shop, find a denim jacket, and paint it yourself? I'd think it would give the jacket a little more character.

Now I kinda want one...

Id paint it yourself, it will cost you maybe 10 dollars. And you could even pay someone to do it for you, might run you 20.

One of my friends did that with a denim jacket and also denim shorts.
Super easy and cheap!

Not exactly the same, and yeah Bono is kind of a tool, but I always thought this jacket was pretty boss.

Go to a thrift store and get a denim jacket, then get a patch or some canvas with am american flag on it. It will cost no more than 20 dollars.

Am I the only one that feels like I'm disarming a bomb when opening these things?

That's actually sick, I think I'm going to do that. How long did it take you?
