  • 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 Office of the Attorney General was created by the Judiciary Act of 1789, but for eighty years the Attorney General worked with a small staff and no department. Congress passed the Act to Establish the Department of Justice on June 22, 1870, signed by President Ulysses S. Grant, and the department began work on July 1, 1870.

The seal predates the department. Congress gave the Attorney General's office statutory authority for a seal in 1849, and the design was devised in the early 1850s. President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the current version on April 27, 1934. It shows a shield of thirteen stripes under a blue chief, an eagle rising from the shield holding an olive branch of thirteen leaves and thirteen arrows, and the motto Qui Pro Domina Justitia Sequitur, who prosecutes on behalf of Lady Justice. The department describes its flag as an ultramarine blue field bearing the seal with white fringe.

  • Eagle with olive branch and arrows: The powers of peace and war vested in Congress.
  • Thirteen stars and stripes: The original states.
  • Motto: Who prosecutes on behalf of Lady Justice, drawn from the old common law pleading formula.

Which options can I choose on the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Pole Hem Flag?

Printed or sewn; single-sided, double-sided or mirror-sided; plain or with gold fringe; Regular or Premium construction on a sewn flag; and 3x5 FT, 4x6 FT, 5x8 FT or a custom size. Review them above, then call or request a quote.

What is the difference between single-sided, double-sided and mirror-sided?

A single-sided flag carries the design on the front only, and the back is blank. A double-sided flag is two flags sewn back to back, so the design reads correctly from either side. A mirror-sided flag is two layers with the back a mirror image of the front. Double-sided and mirror-sided flags weigh more and need more wind to fly.

Should I order the Department of Justice flag printed or sewn?

Printed reproduces fine seal detail exactly. Sewn appliqué and embroidery gives the emblem relief and texture, and it is the traditional choice for a ceremonial flag. Both are made in the USA. If you are unsure, tell us where the flag will be displayed and we will recommend one.

What are Regular and Premium construction?

Both are sewn flags. Regular is chain stitched. Premium is lock stitched, a stronger interlocking stitch that holds up to more handling and wind, and it carries a separate part number. Printed flags do not use either grade.

Can the DOJ pole hem flag be flown outdoors?

It is built for indoor and parade use. Fringe and a pole hem are ceremonial finishes that wear quickly in weather. For a flagpole, order the DOJ grommets flag, which has a canvas header and brass grommets.

How is the Department of Justice flag flown with the American flag?

The American flag takes the position of honor. On separate poles of the same height it flies on its own right, which is the viewer’s left. When two flags share one halyard, the American flag is at the peak and the Department of Justice flag flies below it.
