Embroidered velvet pataka with fringed edging
The classic specification, and the one most institutions request.
Why velvet
Velvet has the depth of colour and the weight that a ceremonial flag needs. It hangs properly on a pole rather than fluttering, and gold thread reads sharply against its pile.
Typical specification
Velvet ground fabric, gold or silver thread embroidery of the official emblem, fringed edging on three sides, and a wooden or metal pole with a finial. Sizes and colours follow the standards set by your institution.
Looking after a velvet pataka
Store the flag rolled rather than folded to avoid creasing the pile, keep it out of direct sunlight, and use a protective cover between ceremonies. Do not machine wash — spot clean only, and let it dry flat away from heat.
