Choose Your Options
Every Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Pole Hem Flag is made to order, so tell us how you want it built. These are the choices.





- Printed or sewn: Printed flags are dye-printed on 200 denier nylon, so fine seal detail reproduces exactly. Sewn flags are appliquéd and embroidered by hand in our Alexandria, Virginia shop: each color is a separate piece of fabric stitched to the field, with lettering and fine detail embroidered.
- Single-sided, double-sided or mirror-sided: A single-sided flag carries the design on the front only; the back is blank. A double-sided flag is two flags sewn back to back, so the design reads correctly on both sides. A mirror-sided flag is also two layers, but the back is a mirror image of the front.
- Fringe or plain: Gold rayon fringe on three edges is the traditional ceremonial finish for an indoor flag. Plain leaves the edges hemmed. Either way the hoist edge gets the pole hem.
- Regular or Premium construction (sewn flags): Regular sewn flags are chain stitched. Premium sewn flags are lock stitched, a stronger interlocking stitch, and they carry a separate part number. Printed flags do not need this choice.
- Size: 3x5 FT, 4x6 FT, 5x8 FT are standard. For a custom size, give us the finished width and height you need.

Historical Background
The Bureau of Investigation was created on July 26, 1908, when Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte ordered a small force of special agents to report to the Department of Justice's chief examiner. It became the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. J. Edgar Hoover led the Bureau from 1924 to 1972, the years in which it built its fingerprint files, its crime laboratory and the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia.
The FBI seal was adopted in 1941. It carries the motto Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, and the flag sets the seal on a dark blue field. Today the Bureau works from headquarters in Washington, D.C., 55 field offices and legal attaché offices around the world.
