KIds and wives or girlfriends wearing them are okay, we all know they are not trying to pass themselves off as qualified.
SF memorabilia awarded by SF members (but not fronted by you as a member, as you noted) is okay with me as well, since you can always tell people a QP presented it to you. I have given away hats, coins, shirts, and jackets.
Why your NQPed bro-in-law would buy one and present it to you is a real puzzler. He isn't qualified, and neither are you. Who is he to be presenting SF memorabilia?
Personally, if I were you, I would not wear it out in public away from my house, but others may have different opinions.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
