What is the flag made from?
This edition is crafted from real decommissioned 5" supply line fire hose, arranged in the historic 13-star Betsy Ross pattern that honors the original American flag flown during the Revolution. The hose was pulled from active service and gets a second life as a piece of patriotic wall art, backed with a heavy 30oz cotton canvas.
What are the dimensions?
The flag measures 24 inches by 42 inches - a bold statement size that anchors a wall in a den, office, garage, or firehouse.
How do I mount it?
Four heavy-duty brass grommets are set into the corners (the larger versions add a center grommet too) so you can hang it flat against a wall with nails, screws, or hooks. The grommets are built to handle the weight of the hose and backing without tearing.
Will my flag have unique markings on it?
Yes - every flag is one-of-a-kind. The fire hose came off real fire scenes, so each piece carries its own water stains, scuffs, stenciling, and faded patches from years of service. The 13-star Betsy Ross layout is consistent, but the texture and character of the hose around it is unique to your flag.

How is it constructed for durability?
A 30oz cotton canvas backing gives the flag structure so it hangs flat. The edges are bound in 1" MilSpec coyote binding - the same heavy webbing used on tactical gear - to lock in the hose and prevent fraying. Every seam is sewn through multiple layers of hose and canvas for a build that will outlast most wall art.
