Display your commitment to tradition and regulation with our Reverse US Flag Patch, designed for modern military uniforms. At Kim’s #1 Sewing, we proudly provide AR 670-1 compliant flag patches in full-color, OCP, and subdued options. Each patch features the stars facing forward, symbolizing forward movement and the American fighting spirit.
To begin with, the reverse orientation isn’t a mistake—it honors the battlefield practice of carrying the flag into combat. Moreover, the Velcro-backed construction allows soldiers to quickly apply or remove the patch on OCP jackets, patrol caps, and boonie hats. This ensures compliance during uniform changes or deployment transitions.
Unlike mass-produced alternatives, we manufacture each Reverse US Flag Patch in the USA using military-grade thread and precision stitching. As a result, our patches resist fraying, fading, and daily wear. Whether you serve in the 82nd Airborne, Special Operations, or National Guard, you’ll appreciate the durability and professional appearance of our patches.
In addition, we inspect each item before shipping to guarantee regulation-readiness. Soldiers trust Kim’s #1 Sewing for our accuracy, craftsmanship, and fast turnaround. When appearance and compliance matter, choose the American-made difference with our trusted flag patches
What is a Hook Fastener?
– It is the fastening system.
Velcro-backed patches play a critical role in today’s military uniforms, especially for OCP and ACU configurations. According to AR 670-1 regulations, soldiers must attach unit patches, rank insignia, and name tapes in a way that allows quick removal and replacement—without damaging the uniform. That’s why Velcro backing remains the preferred method across active units.
Unlike traditional sewn-on patches, Velcro-backed designs enable rapid updates for promotions, deployments, or duty changes. Soldiers in elite groups like the 82nd Airborne, Special Forces, and Recruiting Command rely on Velcro to stay mission-ready and uniform-compliant.
At Kim’s #1 Sewing, we apply military-grade hook-and-loop systems that lock securely in place, even under field stress. We align each patch with care, ensuring perfect placement on OCP jackets, patrol caps, and boonie hats. Furthermore, our products meet all AR 670-1 standards, so you can wear them with confidence.
Because we understand the needs of today’s Army, we deliver patches that adapt, perform, and last. Whether you’re outfitting for inspection or customizing gear for deployment, trust Kim’s #1 to provide durable, regulation-compliant Velcro solutions that stand up to the mission.
WHY IS THE ARMY FLAG PATCH REVERSE?
-Reverse US Flag Patch
The reverse American flag patch may appear backwards, but it holds deep symbolic meaning rooted in U.S. Army tradition. According to AR 670-1 regulations, when worn on the right sleeve of an OCP or ACU uniform, the flag’s stars must face forward—toward the front of the soldier’s movement. This placement replicates how a real flag appears when carried into battle on a flagpole: the stars lead the way while the stripes stream behind in the wind.
To begin with, this design represents bravery, forward momentum, and the American spirit of always advancing—not retreating. In fact, the reverse orientation shows that soldiers are charging into action, never backing down. Moreover, it reinforces the principle that the U.S. military moves ahead with strength and honor.
At Kim’s #1 Sewing, we craft reverse American flag patches to military specifications, using durable Velcro backing and color-accurate embroidery. Each patch complies fully with AR 670-1 standards and is ready for wear on OCP jackets, patrol caps, or boonie hats.
Whether you’re on active duty or building a shadow box, our patches preserve military tradition and regulation compliance. Choose our American-made quality to display your flag with pride, purpose, and precision—always facing forward, just like the soldier who wears it.
