Show Your Patriotism with American Flag Lapel Pins!

With all of the media buzz over which politicians are wearing a lapel pin or are not wearing a lapel pin, it is interesting to take a closer look at the classic American Flag pin. Though some Americans choose to wear flag pins from his or her home state, the American Flag pin is the most popular style of lapel pin worn in the United States.

The American flag always makes a stunning impression as a lapel pin, regardless of the size and shape of the lapel pin design. Many Americans find that a small lapel pin is a subtle but strong way of showing ongoing patriotism.

One important aspect of flag lapel pin design is its ability to attach to and sit against clothing without damaging or pulling on the fabric. Though sizes do vary, any lapel pin between the size of ¾” and 1” is the best and most popular size to suit this purpose.

Beyond size, there are many design elements that can contribute to the overall appearance of the flag lapel pin. Different finishes and base metals are some of the subtler differences between seemingly traditional flag lapel pins. Some more artistic designs include rhinestone embellishments, patriotic eagles, a waving shape and much, much more. Some flag pins are even manufactured as jewelry pieces in sterling silver and solid gold.
