Historical Flag- "BETSY ROSS"

Historical Note- The Revolutionary leaders realized the need for a distinctive American flag. The First Stars and Stripes was adopted on June 14, 1777, by a resolution of the Continental Congress. The resolution stated: "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternated red and white, that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." This is the version of the United States Flag, as it is known to us, and its "birthday," June 14, is commemorated each year as "Flag Day". The flag is popularly called the Betsy Ross Flag, but there is not enough historical evidence to resolve the question whether or not Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress, designed and made the first flag of this pattern.

Materials and Descriptions:

4" x 6" flags- are printed on a luxurious silk-like material. These offer the highest quality in a hand-held or desk flag. They are hem stitched on all four sides for longer lasting beauty. Each is stapled to a 3/16" x 10" black plastic staff with a gold spear top. 

12" x 18" flags- are printed on a attractive and durable poly-cotton material . These offer a high degree of quality for a hand-held flag. They are hem stitched on all four sides for longer lasting life. Each is stapled to a 5/16"/ 3/8” x 30" natural wood staff with a gold spear top. 

Nylon- Is a quality heavy duty flag material, utilizing SolarMax  Nylon 6.6, which was specially developed for indoor/ outdoor flag applications. The material is treated with deep penetrant dyes and retardants for extended exposure to sunlight. No better grade of nylon is available.  Nylon offers lustrous beauty, superior wear and excellent flyability in low to moderate winds. Nylon flags are generally dyed, digitally imaged, jointed, or sewn. They are finished with a heavy duty white header material and brass grommets.  

All nyon flags are not equal, there are many grades of nylon, different thread materials, and stitching. We only provide flags that are double locked stitched- not single locked or chain stitched.

Mediumweight Polyester- Is the most popular choice  for promotional use and limited outdoor use because they fly in the slighest breeze, offer superb color retention, are moderately rugged and are relatively inexpensive They are finished with a white header and brass grommets.

Dying- There are many processes and we provide acid-dyed flags which allows complete color penetration to the core of the fiber, and provides a soft- but bright finish. We do not offer silk screened flags- the colors are applied to the outside of the fiber and offer little penetration or durability. 

Digitally Imaging- Allows exact duplication of the image with high quality, deep penetrating inks. Generally used on nylon and 100% tight knit polyester materials.Ideal for indoor or outdoor applications.
