A red jacket, one glitter glove, and the lean everyone attempts. The glove is the icon. About twenty-five minutes, easy: a red jacket, black pants, and a white glove. The glove goes on the left hand; that's the rule and everyone knows it.

Tip: freeze mid-moonwalk when cameras appear.
Sizing: Built for teens and adults. The jacket and single glove fit most; size the fedora to your head.
Steps
- Cover one white glove in glitter glue.
- Let it dry flat completely.
- Wear the red jacket with black pants, white socks, and the fedora.
- Put the glitter glove on one hand only.
- One glove, never two.
- Practice the moonwalk and the toe-stand in socks on a smooth floor.
- Safety: Practice the lean against a wall first, and never attempt it on a wet or crowded floor.
- Optional pro finish: freeze mid-moonwalk when cameras appear.

Common questions
How do you keep the glitter on the glove?
Two thin coats of glitter glue, drying fully between coats, then a clear sealer. One thick coat sheds everywhere.
What if we cannot find a red jacket?
A red hoodie with the hood down reads fine at party distance. The glove is the giveaway.
