Can the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) uniform be worn casually as a jacket or fashion statement? 

Definitely not, if we’re going by the Decorations and Uniforms Act. Anyone caught for the unauthorised use of any part of the naval, military, air or police force uniforms — including badges and medals — can be convicted in the Magistrate’s Court. Guilty parties can be fined up to $400 or jailed up to three months. 

Being a legendary graffiti artist, Leonard Hilton McGurr aka Futura isn’t exactly known for being a stickler for rules. The 64-year-old New York native donned familiar military fatigues in a picture posted by streetwear publication Highsnobiety. 

Posted on the Highsnobiety Instagram page last Friday, the street artist can be seen holding up a peace sign while wearing the SAF No. 4 top, complete with his name stitched on. He’s no stranger to the fashion scene either, thanks to several high-profile collaborations with COMME des GARÇONS, Supreme, Off-White, Nike, Uniqlo and many more.
