Postal Letter

My son received a USPS (US Postal Service) sweater from his girlfriend.?

Several people have told him its against the law for him to wear the sweater. He is not wearing the whole uniform, just the sweater. Does anyone know for sure? My son is wearing just the sweater and is not impersonating a postal employee...more of a fashion thing...he likes to wear odd things.

1. Current conditions being what they are, he could well get in trouble wearing it outside if it is actually part of a postal uniform.
2. they sell them at nascar events....its his he can do whatever he wants with it
3. Their website says: "The uniform, blazer and Page 10-2 USPS OPERATIONS MANUAL 05/01/08 insignia of USPS may be worn only by persons who are currently members of USPS, except that a life member pin may be worn for life."
4. he could get in trouble... that is why people cant buy UPS or any other type of uniform because it could be a danger hazard for people. someone could dress up as a UPS or a postal guy or any other delivery place and when the door is opened could rob them. its just a safety thing..
5. Officially it is not against the law as no law saying that you can't wear this. However, if your son intentionally put on the sweater and try to pretend as a postal worker, then he will be definitely in trouble.
