North Carolina Flag Patch

This United Defense patch puts the North Carolina state flag on your gear in embroidered thread. It is a simple way to show where you are from on a pack, plate carrier, range bag or jacket. Morale patches like this are traded and collected as much as they are worn, and a state flag is one of the most common ways to mark kit as your own.

Features

Embroidered Construction — The blue, red and gold areas are filled with dense thread stitching for a raised, textured finish.
Merrowed Gold Border — A merrowed edge, a tight overlock stitch wrapped around the perimeter, seals the cut fabric and helps keep the edge from fraying.
State Flag Layout — A vertical blue union sits beside horizontal red-over-white bars, following the North Carolina flag design.
NC Monogram And Star — Gold "N" and "C" letters flank a silver-white star at the center of the blue field.
Gold Scroll Ribbons — Two gold scrolls, outlined in dark thread, frame the monogram above and below.
Woven White Bar — The lower white bar shows the base fabric weave, which sets it apart from the stitched red bar above.
Rectangular Flag Format — The horizontal rectangle matches the shape of a flag and sits squarely in a standard patch panel.
United Defense Manufacture — Made by United Defense, a commercial patch maker, not taken from military surplus stock.

Stitching And Border

The colors are bright and easy to tell apart: royal blue, red, white and a strong gold that carries from the scrolls out to the border. The gold merrowed edge frames the flag and gives the patch a finished outline on darker fabrics such as OD green, black or coyote. Check the backing type in the product details before you buy so you know how it will attach to your gear.
