England (St George's Cross)
The St George’s Cross flag was curated in the middle ages to tribute Saint George, a military saint during the Third Crusade. George became the patron Saint of England in 1348, in which his flag was subsequently used during the reigns of Plantagenet Kings of England and on Royal Standards. In 1606, the flag was incorporated into the official design of the Union Jack, which united England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (now only Northern Ireland) into one nation. Today, this flag is used as the national flag of England and is flown at sporting events to represent the country. The flag design features a white background with a red cross.

Product Description
We manufacture and supply the St George’s Cross flag ready to fly on the top a flagpole in either hand sewn or digitally printed options.
We highly recommend hand sewn national flags as the preferred choice for your flag. Manufactured using Ministry of Defence approved 155gsm woven flag material, this fabric offers the best possible durability and has been used by the Navy and other military branches for many years.
Hand sewn national flags are made to MoD & Flag Institute standard patterns by cutting panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, before being sewn together by our skilled flagmakers to create the official St George's Cross pattern. National flag designs with complex details will have a printed panel or badge added to the main field of the flag.
Dye-sublimated flags are created using our state-of-the-art textile print systems and woven polyester flag fabric in our UK manufacturing facility. Chosen for strength and durability, knitted polyester is an ideal choice for anybody looking for a good value national flag finished ready to fly from your flagpole.
The England (St George's Cross) flag is finished by hand with a headband rope and toggle as standard, ready to attach directly to a flagpole. The three exposed sides of the flag are finished with a strong double hem and a triple sewn hem on the fly edge for extra durability.
Other finishes are available, please be sure to select the correct option for you or contact a member of our team for support.
