These braids are typically produced for band uniforms and career apparel, including police, fire, airline and postal. As the name suggests, this style is braided which creates a non-stretch flat product with high luster. Flat braids are available with an optional lacquer finish if a more rigid feel is desired. The minimum order for these products, when utilizing standard yarn shades, is only 144/yards. Custom colors can be dyed, although higher minimums apply.
