How to put it together
- 1
Put on a basic black t-shirt or a long-sleeve thermal shirt as your base layer.
- 2
Layer the camouflage utility vest over your shirt.
- 3
Tie the American flag bandana snugly around your forehead, keeping your hair pushed back.
- 4
Secure the elastic strap of the long fake beard over your ears and adjust it so it sits comfortably on your chin.

Slide on the dark sunglasses over the beard straps.

No makeup is required. If you have long hair, let it flow naturally from under the bandana; otherwise, the bandana and beard will cover most of your hair.
