I wore one (a red and white cotten one, bought at an army surplus store in Chicago) when I was a nutty punk wanna-be in the 90's. A LOT of fashion punks had them!!<br />I wore it with my Doc Martens and a big army green chemical coat (cotton). It was cool! Then my dog shredded it. Apparently he thought I was a terrorist (and here I was thinking I was just an innocently fashionable part Lebanese girl!). Aw shit.
