Stitching Since 1994
Specializing In Guidons & Bn Colors For Framing

There are a lot of pictures on this page, so please give them a moment to fully load. The embroidered area on the Battalion Colors measures roughly 8.5" x 8.5" (with the Bn number in the upper right hand corner), with the nylon cut at approximately 18x18 inches. We charge $45 for the colors. We stitch them on single-ply 200 Denier oxford nylon. We do not do the framing. Fringe is available for the colors upon request for an additional fee. Currently, we carry fringe in yellow, white, light blue, scarlet and silvery grey. The nylon we use for guidons and colors is available in the required colors such as brick red for transportation units, orange for Signal units, green for Military Police, ultra marine blue for Aviation, oriental blue for Military Intelligence, national flag blue for Infantry units, crimson for maintenance and ordnance, scarlet for engineer and artillery units, etc. Dye lots may vary from bolt to bolt so you may or may not notice a difference in the color shade if you purchase flags from different companies. Keep in mind that the single sided guidons and colors that we produce are for placing in frames for gift giving purposes and as such are not held to inspection specifications of AR 840-10. There will be a set-up charge of $90.00 ($100 for the ROTC designs) ONLY if we have to create an embroidery design of your coat of arms for the battalion colors or your SSI for the Brigade or Division flag. Occasionally we come across unique military designs that we have to quote separately and that the $90 will not apply to. These are usually designs that are used for specific schools, and because of the detail and size, have a much higher stitch count. But 99% of the time, The standard set up fee applies. We will take care of getting the artwork that we need in order to create an embroidery design for your flag. Please read our policy and procedure page prior to placing an order. You can place all orders for guidons and colors right from our storefront (see the FLAG button link at the bottom of the page to go to our storefront).
