From Betsy Ross to Today: How Eder Flag Keeps America’s Heritage Flying
When you think of the American flag, you think of history, sacrifice, and unity.
But behind every flag is a story of craftsmanship. From the earliest hand-sewn banners to today’s precision-made designs and attention to detail remain at the heart of flag-making.
At Eder Flag®, that tradition lives on in every flag we produce.
From Early Hands to Lasting Standards
The first American flags were sewn by hand, often in homes and small workshops.
Betsy Ross may be the best-known seamstress, but countless women dedicated time and skill to crafting flags that soldiers carried into battle and communities raised in celebration. Each flag was unique, a reflection of the maker’s care.
As the country grew, the need for consistency became clear. By 1912, official proportions and star placement were established so every American flag would follow the same standard, a legacy that continues today.
Craftsmanship Lives On at Eder Flag
Founded in 1887, Eder Flag carries forward this legacy. While technology has helped us meet demand, our work is still done by hand. Skilled flagmakers at our employee-owned facility carefully sew and assemble each flag, ensuring it represents the dignity of the nation.
Every Eder Flag American flag is proudly Made in the USA, using the same precision that defined the earliest days of American flag-making. It’s not just about fabric and thread…
It’s about honoring a heritage that has united generations.
