4 USC Ch. 1: THE FLAG36 U.S.C. 176 - Respect for flag

No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

Do you think his tailor used an actual flag for the lining?

Uncle Sam is fricked.

Uncle Sam is not wearing the actual flag.

Regardless, it's a modern thing to have such rules about the flag. Regimental color bearers in the Civil War would use them for blankets, then die protecting them the following day.
