The Confederate Battle Flag – also known as the Rebel Flag or Southern Cross – is more than a symbol. For living historians and Civil War reenactors, it is a vital piece of material culture that must look and feel authentic on the field.
That’s why our 3×5 Heavyweight Cotton Confederate Battle Flag with Sleeves & Ties continues to be a favorite among serious reenactors. Unlike modern grommeted versions, this flag uses the traditional period-correct mounting: a full fabric sleeve on the hoist side with sturdy cotton ties. Thread the pole through the sleeve and secure it with the ties – just like color bearers did in 1861–1865. The result is the correct drape, natural flutter, and historical appearance that judges and fellow reenactors notice immediately.
Key Details:
- Genuine heavyweight cotton with real weight and classic drape
- Vibrant red field with navy blue saltire and white stars
- Traditional sleeves and ties (no grommets) – ideal for handheld staffs and portable poles
- Generous 3×5 ft size
- Favored for Eastern Theater impressions and living history events
