Join Tom and Alan on Rebuild Procurement as they take a look at the surprising story behind the American flag and how its iconic stars and stripes are sourced today. Discover why modern flags are more about polymers and plastics than old-fashioned fabric, making “Old Glory” more like “Oil Glory" with modern day materials. Learn the secrets behind the brass grommets, lifetime sewing threads, and why even flags have a supply chain worth saluting. And if you think flags are just patriotic symbols, wait until you hear about the $45 price tag and what really drives that cost—spoiler: it’s not just sewing!
