Oklahoma State Flag Patch

This United Defense patch puts the Oklahoma state flag on your gear in a compact rectangular format. A morale patch is a small embroidered emblem worn on packs, caps, jackets and plate carriers to show where you are from or what you stand for. This one is for Oklahomans, people with roots in the state, and anyone building a set of state flag patches.

Features

Oklahoma State Flag Design — The patch reproduces the state flag: a blue field with the Osage buffalo-hide shield at the center.
Embroidered Shield Detail — The shield, its small crosses and its brown outline are stitched in thread, so the design has raised texture instead of being printed flat.
Olive Branch And Peace Pipe — An olive branch in green thread crosses a white calumet, the ceremonial peace pipe shown on the state flag.
Hanging Eagle Feathers — White embroidered feathers hang below the shield, matching the flag's original design.
OKLAHOMA Lettering — The state name is stitched in white block capitals under the emblem, so it reads clearly at a glance.
Gold Merrowed Border — A merrowed edge, a thick overlocked thread that wraps the patch's perimeter, frames the design in gold and keeps the edges from fraying.
Rectangular Flag Layout — The landscape shape lines up neatly with other flag patches on a cap front, sleeve or pack panel.
United Defense Brand — The patch is made by United Defense, a commercial maker of morale and flag patches.

Embroidery And Edging

The blue field is a woven fabric base, and the shield, branch, pipe, feathers and lettering are embroidered on top in brown, tan, green and white thread. The gold merrowed border is stitched around all four sides, which finishes the edge cleanly and helps the patch hold its shape when it is worn and handled.
