Australia red ensign MoD approved

Australian red ensign traditionally sewn using woven UK MoD approved flag fabric

Our fully sewn woven polyester Australian red ensigns are made using British Ministry of Defence approved fabric UK/SC/4767. Manufactured in UK by one of the oldest local factories, 155 g/sqm MOD approved woven flag material is by far the most durable flag fabric on the market. Apart from its outstanding durability, MoD approved woven  fabric has a pleasant natural feel and non-shiny wool like look. 

All stitched Australian flags are fitted with heavy duty reinforced headings and by default are supplied either with traditional British rope & toggle, rope loops or brass eyelets, D rings, Inglefield Clips or Stainless 316 grade steel swivel eye snap clips.

All MoD approved red ensigns are sewn using bonded nylon UK manufactured COATS thread. Its outstanding strength, resistance to abrasion and sea water makes it essential for quality outdoor manufacutre. For added durability fly end carries hidden 504 type overlock hem to securely hold fabric along the cutting lines. The edge hem is folded afterwards and sewn on using multipe stitch type 301 double seam along the fly end forming very durable interlocked strip at the flag's right edge. The latter part in most cases is the first to sustian premature tearing due to whip effect making outromost flag edge move extremely fast under high winds. 

We are experienced family owned flag manufacturers and strive to offer best price and quality on the market.

About our flags

About us

 From 1901 to 1954 the Red Ensign was used as a civil flag by State and local governments, private organisations and individuals. The Blue Ensign was reserved for use by the Commonwealth Government, the Australian Olympic team and the military as a saluting flag at all reviews and ceremonial parades.

In 1941, Prime Minister Robert Menzies stated that there should be no restrictions on private citizens using the Blue Ensign on land and, in 1947, Prime Minister Ben Chifley reaffirmed this position but it wasn't until the passage of the Flags Act 1953 that the restriction on civilians flying the Blue Ensign was officially lifted after which use of the Red Ensign on land became a rarity.
