American-Made Betsy Ross Flags & Historic Décor

There is no symbol more evocative of the American spirit than the circle of thirteen stars. Representing the original colonies and the birth of a nation, the Betsy Ross flag takes us back to 1776—a time of revolution, courage, and the forging of a new identity. At BuyAmerican.com, we believe that a flag representing the founding of our country should be made in our country. Welcome to our American-Made Betsy Ross Flags collection, where history is honored through heirloom-quality craftsmanship.

We have curated a selection of historical flags and décor that rejects the cheap, printed polyester imports found in novelty shops. Instead, we partner with historic American flag manufacturers and artisan woodworkers who understand the weight of this symbol. Whether you are looking for a durable all-weather nylon flag to fly on Independence Day, a tea-stained cotton banner to hang in your study, or a rustic wooden sign for your porch, these products are grown, woven, dyed, and sewn entirely within the United States. Display the 13 stars with the dignity they deserve.

All-Weather Outdoor Betsy Ross Flags

Fly the spirit of '76 on your front porch with flags engineered to withstand modern weather while honoring traditional design.

  • SolarMax Nylon: The gold standard for residential display. Our outdoor Betsy Ross flags are crafted from heavyweight nylon that is treated to resist UV fading. This fabric is lightweight enough to fly in a gentle breeze, ensuring the iconic circle of stars is always visible.

  • Sewn & Embroidered: We do not sell cheap screen-printed flags. Every stripe is individually sewn with double-needle lock-stitching, and every star in the 13-star circle is densely embroidered for a rich, textured appearance that looks magnificent from both sides.

  • Reinforced Durability: Featuring heavy-duty canvas headers and brass grommets, these flags are built to secure firmly to your pole and resist fraying at the fly end.

Heritage Cotton & Tea-Stained Flags

For those seeking an antique or colonial aesthetic, nothing beats the look and feel of natural cotton.

  • Mercerized Cotton: Experience the deep, rich colors and matte finish of traditional 2-ply cotton bunting. These flags are ideal for indoor display, historical reenactments, or special holiday use on dry days.

  • Tea-Stained "Antiqued" Look: Capture the patina of history. We offer "Heritage" series flags that are meticulously tea-stained to create a sepia-toned, weathered look. The red stripes are deeper, the white stripes are a soft beige, and the blue field is a muted navy, making them perfect for farmhouse decor or framing.

Handcrafted Wooden Flags & Wall Art

The Betsy Ross design is a favorite subject for American woodworkers.

  • Rustic Wood Art: Shop handcrafted flags made from charred pine, reclaimed barn wood, or barrel staves. These solid wood pieces feature the 13-star circle carved or painted by hand, adding a permanent touch of patriotism to your living room or office.

  • Metal Barn Stars: Add a touch of Americana to your exterior with barn stars and metal wall art featuring the 1776 motif, powder-coated to survive the elements.

Historical Flag Sets & Accessories

Complete your display with hardware worthy of the flag.

  • Spinning Poles: Ensure your historical flag never tangles. Our spinning poles utilize ball bearings to keep the flag flying free, regardless of wind direction.

  • Desktop & Stick Flags: Bring history to the classroom or the grave site. We offer high-quality stick flags with hemmed edges and spear tips, perfect for Memorial Day tributes or educational displays.

Buying Considerations: Choosing Your Piece of History

Selecting a historical flag is different than buying a standard 50-star flag. The intended "look" and location of the display are critical factors. Here is what to consider when shopping our American-made collection:

1. Fabric Choice: Nylon vs. Cotton

  • Nylon: Choose this for outdoor flying. It is shiny, vibrant, sheds water, and handles the sun well. If you want a flag that looks "new" and flies every day, Nylon is the choice.

  • Cotton: Choose this for indoor display or specific "vintage" aesthetics. Cotton is heavy and can mildew if left in the rain. However, its texture is historically accurate and looks stunning when folded in a case or draped on a wall.

2. The "Tea-Stained" Aesthetic Many Betsy Ross flags are sold as "Tea-Stained," "Antiqued," or "Heritage."

  • What it means: The white stripes and stars are dyed a tan/beige color to simulate age.

  • Use case: These are incredibly popular for interior design, rustic farmhouses, and log cabins. They look less stark than bright white flags. If you want a crisp, military-style look, avoid tea-staining; if you want a warm, colonial look, it is essential.

3. Star Arrangement While the "circle" pattern is the most famous, there were actually several 13-star variants in 1776 (including the Hopkinson and Cowpens versions).

  • The Betsy Ross: Features 13 five-pointed stars arranged in a perfect circle. The stars typically point outwards or upwards depending on the specific manufacturer's interpretation of the legend. Our collection focuses on the classic circle design.

4. FMAA Certification Historical flags are heavily counterfeited by overseas manufacturers. To ensure your Betsy Ross flag is truly American-made, look for the FMAA (Flag Manufacturers Association of America) certification on our product pages. This guarantees that the cotton was grown, the fabric woven, and the flag assembled entirely within the USA.
