I learned of this flag's existence in 2003 and have been inspired by it ever since. I challenged myself to create quality jackets that honored the integrity of the design and am so proud of them. It's the first piece of clothing I've ever designed from start to finish. I hope you love it as much as I do.

100% Water-Resistant Polyester. Detailed measurements below.

Created in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson, the idea to create the flag came about during the Civil Rights Era when Charles realized that every other group of people had a flag at parades except Black Americans. The gold blunted sword represents "the feeling of having pride and also knowing, when you have a blunted sword, when you blunt it, you learn to curdle the earth," Melvin continued, "the wreath, which we also had in the color gold, symbolized peace, prosperity, and everlasting life. Red was chosen to represent the rich blood we shed for freedom, justice, and human dignity, and the color Black was for the pride in our pigmentation."
