Product Description
The Signature American banner is the sleeved version of our Nylon Signature American Flag. The stars are embroidered extra large in bright white thread so the union reads from the street, and every stripe is individually lock-stitched. The all-weather 100% nylon is fully dyed and made for outdoor use.
The pole hem sleeve fits a 1 IN banner-style house pole, and a hook-and-loop tab with a slit secures the banner to the pole so it does not slide or spin. It comes in attractive packaging, which makes it a good gift, and it is made in the USA.
Signature American Banner Features
- Extra-large embroidered stars – ultra-brilliant white stars, larger than a standard flag’s, on a 100% nylon union.
- Individually lock-stitched stripes – each stripe joined with a double-needle lock stitch for lasting strength.
- All-weather 100% nylon – fully dyed, light enough to fly in a breeze, quick to dry.
- Pole hem sleeve for 1 IN poles – slides over a standard banner-style house pole.
- Hook-and-loop tab with slit – wraps the pole and fits over its screw or stop, so the banner stays put.
- Made in the USA – sewn here, as an American flag should be.
Historical Background
The Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes on June 14, 1777, with 13 stripes for the original colonies and 13 stars for a new constellation. As states joined the Union the star count grew, and the 50-star pattern in use today was set on July 4, 1960 after Hawaii became a state. The rules for displaying the flag, including half-staff and nighttime display, are set out in the United States Flag Code.
Embroidered stars are the mark of a sewn flag, and a signature-grade banner enlarges them so the flag reads as sewn from a distance. The sleeve finish comes from the house pole tradition: a short staff in an angled bracket by the door, with the flag slid over it rather than clipped to a halyard.
