Fire Hose Flag Patch
Fire Hose Flag Patch
Fire Hose Flag Patch
Old Glory, weathered like the hose it honors.
A tribute to our Fire Hose American Flag, rendered as a patch you can carry anywhere. The stars and stripes wear a faded, weathered finish - the same worn-in character you'd find on hose that spent years in service - framed by a gold merrowed border and a black band reading Recycled Firefighter.
Printed and embroidered. The print carries the sun-bleached detail and fine mottling that thread alone can't hold. The embroidery gives it texture, a raised stitched face, and a clean gold merrowed edge. Photographic depth with the feel and durability of a real stitched patch.
Hook backing sticks to any loop field: packs, hats, plate carriers, chest rigs, and patch panels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it embroidered or printed?
Both, on purpose. The weathered detail is printed - the only way to hold the sun-bleached fade and fine mottling across the stripes. It's finished with embroidered stitching and a merrowed gold border, so it still has the raised texture and durability of a real stitched patch.
Is this patch made from real fire hose?
No. It's a tribute to our Fire Hose American Flag, not a piece of hose. If you want the real thing, we build the American Flag from decommissioned fire hose.
How does it attach?
Hook backing. It sticks to any loop field - our packs, chest rigs, hats, and plate carriers.
How big is it?
4 inches wide by 2.75 inches tall.
Why does it look faded?
On purpose. The weathered finish is part of the design - it's meant to look like it's already been through something, same as the hose our gear is built from.
