- We do anything anybody wants, pretty much.

We kind of pride ourselves in thinking we can make anything if you can think of it.

We're very unique, and there's no place else you can walk in and watch a flag being made.

We'll let people stand and watch.

We'll custom make you a flag no matter how difficult it is.

You can get a flag for your boat, you can get a flag for your club, you can get a flag for your dog.

Nobody else appliques.

Sewing is getting to be very hard to find anyone who sews.

So the fact that we can still sew and make your flag is very unique.

You can't go anywhere else to do that.

You can get a computer dyed flag sitting at your computer or laying in your bed on your laptop, but you can't get an applique flag anywhere else, certainly not in Michigan.

There's a couple shops in other states that are doing the same thing we're doing, but we're a very dying breed.

We don't use a computer other than for invoicing.

All our art is done with an opaque projector and a pencil.

We're very old school that way.

We're doing things the old way.

We still stamp and stencil paper patterns, whereas anyone dyeing is just telling the computer what to do, and it goes off and does it.

You push a few buttons.

This is still making it hands-on by hand.

So we are quite unique that way.

Applique is still a viable thing and a much nicer flag than a dyed flag.

Much heavier, more vibrant colors.

It shows it's got quality behind it.

They're beautiful.

School banners, all those gym banners that say they won a champion in all the years, we do all those.

We do a lot of corporate flags, arena flags, sports flags.

- [Chris] Jane has scrapbooks filled with memories of flags and banners that she and her team have created, like those red, white, and beautiful Red Wing Stanley Cup banners.

I vividly remember the 96 - ' 97 one being hoisted to the rafters at Joe Louis Arena.

But recently, many Michiganders have come in with a different celebration in mind.

- Everyone's coming in looking for the 250, and there's several.

There's maybe five or six made in America ones.

There are many if you go online.

All our flags here are made in the US.

Annin made 10,000 limited edition Betsy Ross flags with embroidered 250 in the middle.

They're beautiful.

They came with a certificate.

They came with tissue in the box.

It's a present.

You should never fly it, I guess.

They got sold immediately.

I ordered an additional, I ordered initially 24 of them, so I called to get more.

Well, they're gone.

They're all gone and they're not, that's it.

It was a limited edition.

That's it.

But now that's the look everybody wants, and you can still buy a Betsy Ross flag and you can applique a 250 in the middle.

It's not an limited edition, but it's the same flag, and we're pumping those out as fast as we can.

We have the dyed variety, but people come in and they see the embroidered and the dyed, and they pretty much pick the embroidered.

The flag is so associated with politics that, term to term, it fluctuates.

This year, I think people are really rallying around the 250 rather than associating it with politics.

We're happy that 250 years, we're still here, and we're still free, and we're still the best place to be in the world, I'm quite convinced.

And people that have never bought a flag are wanting the 250 as a celebration.

So it's just brought out a new audience of buyers.

- [Chris] For Jane, Old Glory carries meaning, both personally and professionally.

- It's everything.

It's been my entire life.

I've been doing this for 48 years now, and it's clean, it's wholesome.

People come in and they're patriotic people, and it's also a luxury item.

You know, not everyone can afford one, but more and more people are buying flags that haven't before, so I think that's a show of patriotism.

- [Chris] There are moments in history where Americans seem to rally around and unite under the flag, like the tragedy of September 11th, 2001.

- Besides bringing out everybody who'd never had flown a flag before in their life, we couldn't get flags.

They shut down all the airplanes.

UPS couldn't deliver.

We sold out of what we had in stock in the first couple days.

People were still calling and lining up.

We had lines outside and down the street.

One day it rained, and there was a picture of all the umbrellas of people waiting in line to buy a flag.

It was like never before.

We had two sewers directing.

Nobody was sewing.

They were directing traffic, and then you have to go out and say, "We only have eight more flags, so sorry, all go home."

Our stuff was sitting in a UPS truck at the airport waiting to come to us grounded, so we met a truck here, parked right in the front at like three in the morning.

My husband and I unloaded.

Every table here was cleared.

We threw boxes all over the place, poles, everything we needed came in and sold those in two days.

And when people, they'd be in line for half an hour, and they're finally done, and they turn to the person behind them and say, "Well, I hope the wedding goes well," or "I hope your mother's feeling better."

And they had all this time to chit-chat and become friends, and everyone was really rallying around the flag, which we do when we're in trouble.

It's not just a cliche.
