Velcro U.S. Space Force PVC US Flag is manufactured in the U.S.A. in accordance with applicable U.S. Government specifications.

Since 2019, The Institute of Heraldry at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, has been working with Space Force leaders to create insignia for seals, badges, chevrons and other uniform accessories to differentiate the newest branch from the rest of the force.

Thread Vs. PVC  - which is better? When you see the PVC versus the textile versions up close, there are subtle differences. Comparing of a PVC Space Force patch to the embroidered patch, you can actually see how much cleaner the detail is in the embroidery versus the PVC. 

But when it came to flag patches, the PVC stars are a much cleaner look.  

Will any of the other branches ever switch to PVC? That's anyone's guess. But for now, it remains a unique feature of Space Force uniforms.
