If one is proud of one’s flag and wants to display it on a day-to-day basis, a miniature flag pin may be the best way to do it. The American flag looks as good in its full glory as it does on a small flag pin. Not only the national flag, but even state flags can be displayed on flag pins. However, the most popular choice for flag pins is the national flag.
Flag pins can be of various sizes and shapes. The only thing to keep in mind is that they should not break or bend, or pierce the skin or tear the clothing in any way. There are a number of different styles of flag pins to choose from — a simple flag, a flag with an eagle, flag with Statue of Liberty, state flags, and more. The most effective flag pin is the one that comes with a clutch back.
Then there are the more expensive varieties of flag pins, which can be made of gold or other precious metals. Lapel flag pins are very popular, and are available in precious as well as non-precious metals. A flag lapel pin, with a gold-metal lacquered design and a clutch pin, is generally very popular. Flag lapel pins are available for the national flag, state flags, and the flags of the various branches of the US Military.
While the sizes of flag pins differ widely, the most popular are about three-quarters of an inch in size. Ideally, a flag pin should sit lightly on the garment it is attached to, without causing excess wear and tear.
