How to put it together
- 1
Secure the SAMCRO patches to the back of your black vest, placing the Grim Reaper in the center with the rockers curved above and below it.
- 2
Put on your dark jeans and pull on the leather work boots.
- 3
Layer the gray zip-up hoodie or plaid flannel shirt over a plain white or black t-shirt.
- 4
Put the patched motorcycle vest on over your hoodie or flannel, leaving the vest unzipped/unbuttoned.
- 5
Put on the black beanie, pulling it down slightly over your forehead, or put on a backward black cap.
- 6
Slide on the black sunglasses and add optional accessories like a chunky silver ring or a toy prop knife in a belt sheath.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair messy or slicked back under your hat. For a Jax Teller look, style your hair in a slicked-back blonde look and sport a light, trimmed goatee. For other club members, a full beard or rugged stubble works perfectly.

- For photos, pose with a serious, tough expression, hands resting on your belt buckle or vest lapels.
Sons of Anarchy costume FAQ
- What patches do I need for a Sons of Anarchy vest?
- The essential patches are the large Grim Reaper logo for the center back, the 'Sons of Anarchy' top rocker, the 'California' bottom rocker, and a small 'MC' patch. Front patches like 'President' or 'Men of Mayhem' add extra detail.
- Is it safe to wear a Sons of Anarchy costume in public?
- Yes, it is generally safe for Halloween and cosplay events. However, because it mimics real motorcycle club colors, it is best to avoid wearing it inside real biker bars or around actual motorcycle clubs to prevent any misunderstandings.
- How do I dress like Jax Teller?
- To specifically channel Jax, wear a gray zip-up hoodie under your vest, clean white sneakers (like classic court shoes) instead of boots, a backward black hat, and carry a prop knife in a belt sheath.
