Choose Your Options
Every U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 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
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act on September 9, 1965, creating the eleventh Cabinet department. HUD consolidated the Housing and Home Finance Agency and its units, including the Federal Housing Administration, which had insured home loans since 1934, the Public Housing Administration and the urban renewal program. Robert C. Weaver became the first Secretary in 1966 and the first African American member of a President's Cabinet.
The Fair Housing Act was enacted and Ginnie Mae was created in 1968, the Community Development Block Grant program began in 1974, and the McKinney Act of 1987 established federal homeless assistance programs. The department's seal, promulgated in 1967, is a stylized eagle in blue and green.
