    Looking for SEWN Scotland flag. Need help!

    I've been searching for a 3'x5' SEWN Scotland St. Andrews flag for some time. I finally found a dealer who said his flags were sewn, so I ordered one. I received it last night and it's printed! I'm looking for a flag where the white saltire/cross is literally sewn together with the blue fields.

    Does anyone know of a supplier that carries sewn Scotland flags?

    Thanks!

    I don't know of a supplier, but I have made them before for re-enactment groups. They're fairly easy to make and the fabric doesn't cost much.

    I'm sure they are easy if you have any type of sewing skills.

    I failed to mention that I'm looking for this in Nylon for outdoor use.

    I'm wondering why it has to be sewn? Are you a reenactor? What's wrong with the printed one?

    My last one was made of heavy canvas and sewn with a HandiStitch.

    Here's one, but it will cost you more than $50.00 to get it here.

    Printed one's are cheap and don't last long (fade). Sewn are more weather resistant. The quality is much better.

    I buy flags from:
    http://www.atlasflags.com/
    Based out of Tucker, Georgia (I usually drop by the shop/showroom near Northlake Mall at I-285 and Lavista).
    Their prices are EXCELLENT for the quality.
    I've got a nylon sewn St. Andrews flag from them, very nice and heavy weight.
