If you live in the great state of Texas, you might want to add this very cool Texas State Patch to your jacket or vest. It's one of the Flag Patches because the state is colored the same as the Texas State flag. Texas is somewhat special because it's one of few states that have a patch like this. You won't find a Kansas patch in the shape of the state, for example. If you're from Texas, don't miss out on showing your state pride. It's also a nice way of adding a bit of color to your jacket.
The outline of Texas is divided into three colors, just like the state flag. The left side is blue, while the right part of the state is split into white and red. The blue section also has one large star, just like the Lone Star flag. That flag has been used by Texas since 1838, when it was introduced as the national flag of the Republic of Texas. When the republic became the state of Texas, the flag became the de facto state flag. Officially, the state had no flag between gaining statehood in 1845 and the passage of the 1933 Texas Flag Code. The flag was designed by Charles B. Stewart.
This patch measure 3.25 by 3 inches at its widest and tallest. Because it's in the shape of Texas, this irregular patch may fit in spaces that a rectangular patch wouldn't. It's an iron on applique that can easily be applied to different garments. If you're putting it on leather, be sure to sew it on so you don't damage the material.
