I always thought it was against proper etiquette to wear the flag as clothing. I wouldn’t use it as a face diaper to get spit and snot on.
For what it’s worth department and that may not be much.

Question:
Is it permissible to wear an item of clothing that looks like the United States flag?
Answer:
Unless an article of clothing is made from an actual United States flag, there is NO
breach of flag etiquette whatsoever. People are simply expressing their patriotism
and love of country by wearing an article of clothing that happens to be red, white,
and blue with stars and stripes. There is nothing illegal about the wearing or use of
these items.
