Bespoke Flag Maker

My current supplier is 'quietly withdrawing' from the courtesy flag market. I suspect that a few dozen ½ yard sales per year is just not worth setting the machine up for.

I'm looking for a supplier that sells quality ½ yard courtesy flags with a toggle, I can't be faffed with those ones with a loop at the top AND who is willing to make a few one offs to a submitted design and am looking for recommendations.

While Google can find flag manufacturers they tend to post this sort of information on the website.

These people have made two flags for me. Top quality. Brilliant service. Fair price.

I seem to remember from a visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard years ago there being a small firm there making hand-sewn flags.

I had Flying Colours make me a defaced red ensign. The service was excellent but I cannot recommend the finished product. A 3/4 yard ensign was over £120. For that I was expecting something clearly top drawer but, in reality, it's not as good as the standard sewn ensign it replaced.

Thanks for the tip.

I hadn't realised you were looking for a firm in your area.

I've used these for various projects over the years.
No cause for complaint.

I had visions of a wee shopfront in the Dockyard.

I think they are history, sadly.

I'd previously dealt (in a small way) with Red Dragon Flagmakers, a (then) social enterprise based in Wales. Their reputation, service and quality were all good. It seems there have since been changes and I have no insight into the successor business, but it might be worth a look.
