Clan Banners

I am asking all XMTS for any quality sites that make Clan Banners.
Thanks in advance!

I've seen her banners displayed at many clan tents here in the southeast and they are all excellent. She's got a good rep for quality products.

I had to have mine made. Our clan sells our tartan in cotton at $11/yd, which is cheap. Then, I got a girlfriend to sew it up for me.

A tent banner for $225? I had one just made at a local sign company for $69. I know the price of vinyl is going up, but jiminy!

Yup. And you can get a kilt for $600 or $60. There is a range in everything. We spent a couple of hundred dollars on a really nice, high quality 10' long banner for the museum to display when we travel. I've also seen vinyl banners for a tenth of the cost we spent, but they were also a tenth of the quality.

In other words, not all banners are created equal. And, I might add, you might notice that right below her $225 banner, she also offers a $50 banner.

I'm not affiliated, I just have seen her banners, and I know she has a really god rep with local clan societies.

Looking at all of those sites, if I were to choose a banner, I'd go with the one made by Tartan Lady.

Big Mikey beat me with his post about Highlandline.

Of course they make flags, which is a different animal. Our Watson was done vertically, so it looks like you could use it in a Tartan parade but being a flag it is too light for that purpose.

But for a flag its great.

Someone out there makes plain tartan banners about 2' x 4' with three metal grommets on one of the short sides much like a flag. These work very well on a vertical 8' pole with a horizontal cross arm.

Does anyone know who makes or sells these banners ?
