From the People

I am so amazed by the quality and detail in these flags! wound up buying five! I had four and then decided to get a custom flag with our last name on it when the custom listing opened up again. I am blown away.

Brenna Wynhof

I can’t say enough about the quality and attention to detail by the Slightly Choppy team and craftsmen. Outstanding. I treasure my Custom Sweatshirt and aim to have it for the rest of my days. Huge shoutout for their apparel/product.

Diggin' the "Aloha" flag, draped over my early '60s brownface Fender amp. The materials and craftsmanship are sturdy, yet it doesn't look like it comes out of mass-produced factory line...
