Better ask them if that's what they want.
When my brother came back from Vietnam, complete with lots of medals he never shows anyone, he didn't want to keep any of his uniforms. He gave a lot to me and I wore them back packing and hunting until I sorta outgrew them in the hips department. Still have them, not sure why, it's been a few years since then. I think I'll dig them out and try them on again. Might wind up making a purse or tote from them. It sure is a strong fabric.
