Product Description
Honor the first national banner of the Confederacy with this authentic Stars and Bars Flag, available in your choice of two premium fabrics. Choose UV-resistant 200 denier nylon for brilliant outdoor flying – colors stay vivid for years in sun, wind, and salt air. Or select rich 100% cotton for that classic, heavy, old-world feel that drapes beautifully indoors at reenactments, museums, or heritage displays. Both versions feature the exact 1861 pattern: three bold red-white-red stripes, deep blue canton, and seven crisp white stars in a perfect circle. Every flag is sewn with double-needle lock stitching and finished with a sturdy canvas heading and solid brass grommets. Proudly made in the USA, one flag at a time.
Historical Context
Adopted March 4, 1861, in Montgomery, Alabama, the Stars and Bars was the Confederacy’s very first official flag. Its seven stars honored South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas – the original seceding states.
