Alpo Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 In one of THE CAT WHO books, they are arguing at a city council meeting. The flag they have only has 48 stars, and one of the people at the meeting says it's not a legal flag. Rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb. Then this interior decorator pops up and says that the flag they have is an extremely expensive flag, and the city does not have the money to replace it with a flag of similar quality. "It would have to be custom-made. This flag is one-hundred percent virgin wool, lined with silk—very unusual. The stripes are individually stitched, and the stars are embroidered on the blue field. It was ordered through my studio." Lined with silk??? The only thing that I can think of is that they have 2 flags, sewn together, with a piece of silk between the sides. Which does not make a whole lot of sense. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Regiments in the 18th and 19th centuries would often have silk banners because they flew nicely in the lightest breeze. I have seen many elaborate, high quality flags in my day. But never a wool flag, which would hang like a blanket on a staff. And never one "lined" with silk.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Early flags were made from wool, linen, or silk. Cotton began being used around 1860. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Ron Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Howdy The statement is that the flag is unusual. So looking to how things are usually done seems counter productive. And a flag could be made out of most any material I suppose. Isnt this all something out of a kids book? forgetabouttitt. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
