But the US flag has 2 sides -- picture how it blows in the wind. That's why you see the blue field on the right on the starboard side of an airplane's tail -- as though it's going with the plane's direction.

On the left shoulder the blue field should show on the left. On the right shoulder it should be on the right (though I've seen many police and fire dept. uniforms that don't get it correct).

It was in that way, but it’s obsolete many years ago, for now, regulation only allowed wear flag on left should.

I think to finish the ensemble, he needs a big purple Panama with a leopard skin band, purple Cadillac with leopard skin seats and sidewinder exhaust. Oh, and an ensemble of skanks. Either that or just put on a dress
