As a company that is happy to accept custom work orders we are asked, fairly consistently, if Mission Spec can build a Red, White, and Blue EOC plate carrier for novelty use. The answer is of course, yes. We have built many of these for different customers and are happy to do it. Customers wanting pricing information on a custom build such as this should use our website contact. It will speed up the process if you include your shipping address with the initial inquiry.
Please note that building a product in this color scheme dictates that we must use some non-MilSpec materials. In other words this specific item SHOULD NEVER be used in a life support capacity. It will also NOT come with our limited lifetime warranty. It is purely cosmetic and to be used only for novelty purposes.

Queue the outraged comments by people citing the us code.
I’ve seriously got into real and internet arguments over people going “overboard” with that. Some people actually get booty-hurt at clothing that depicts a flag at all or bikinis that just happen to resemble a flag. They were never actually a flag, so those people need to lighten up. Apparently all the other world’s problems have been solved.
My personal favorite was when a sailor who took a picture of their newborn infant wrapped in the American flag got bullied into taking down the photo, seriously, ‘Merica, WTF?
I’m a flag code fascist, but there is flexibilty, our nation itself has Uncle Sam endowed in flags for recruiting dating back a century. For the most part if you don’t stomp on it, not put the right amount of stars on it, burn it, or wear it backwards unless on your right arm and you won’t look like an assclown to me. There’s a fine line between negligence and disrespect, and not all code negligence is meant disrespectfully.
And I can get behind that, I suppose I’m wearing the flag on my shoulder backwards, but it was issued that way, not my call. I’m all for respecting it, I just don’t see how the legalistic punishment of patriotism accomplishes anything.

This is somehow going to be in the next Comic Con, especially since Range 15 is going to open soon.
What it cost SSD…?!?!
A buck o’ five.
Well played!
Mil-Spec is a standard, doesn’t mean it better or worse. I’ve used/seen some commercial rated raw goods 100 times better than Mil-Spec.
Sure. There is always better than what is dictated by MIL standards. These materials may or may not be better. It would be wrong of us to not inform you just in case someone thought it was a good idea to stick plates in this thing and go to work. People do strange things.
The one time I used duct-tape to make a plate carrier, that wasn’t mil-spec.
Are you sure? I thought duct tape and zip ties was mil spec . . . ; )
good enough to dummy cord
Velcro is horribly photoshopped into blue color
Uhh, its not photoshopped. Its actually blue.
Negative. It is blue.
