Smathers & Branson are the undisputed kings of needlepoint products. Why undisputed you ask? Simply because other companies that produce needlepoint products cannot even come close to matching the quality that has become synonymous with the Smathers & Branson name. All of their products are hand stitched, thus making each one completely unique. This needlepoint belt features what many flag experts believe to be the greatest flag ever created, and although we are not flag experts we are American so we completely and totally agree. We agree so much we wear this belt any chance we can get and by any chance we can get we mean we wear it literally everyday. If you are looking for a fantastic belt to wear specifically on patriotic occasions like Memorial Day, the 4th of July or on patriotic days of the week such as the days that end in day.
