How to put it together
- 1
Put on the plain white t-shirt and layer the open plaid flannel shirt over it.
- 2
Layer the gray zip-up hoodie over the flannel, leaving both unzipped to show the layers.
- 3
Apply the SAMCRO patches to your black leather vest (the large Reaper patch goes on the back, with rocker patches above and below it).
- 4
Put the patched leather vest on over the hoodie.
- 5
Put on the blue jeans, thread a black leather belt through the loops, and attach the silver wallet chain to your right side.

Makeup & hair
Slick your hair straight back using a strong-hold pomade or gel to get Jax's signature greasy, swept-back look. If you can grow a light, scruffy blonde goatee and mustache, keep it neatly trimmed; otherwise, use a brown eyebrow pencil to lightly sketch on stubble.

Tips
- Keep the sneakers spotless. Jax is famous for keeping his white kicks incredibly clean, which contrasts with his gritty biker gear.
- Layering can get hot. If you are wearing this indoors, opt for a lightweight t-shirt and a thin hoodie to avoid overheating.
- Secure your patches. If you are using iron-on patches on faux leather, use a pressing cloth and low heat so you don't melt the synthetic leather material.
