First Substitute

The First Substitue indicates ‘‘Absence of flag officer or unit commander (Inport)’’ and ‘‘Substitute for the first flag in this hoist’’.

All code flags are fully sewn by Harry West Flags in Sydney, made with poly woven fabric, which is also referred to as  woven "bunting". Long-lasting, durable, as well as the most elegant and undoubtedly a keepsake item. These are made using the traditional methods of flag making. They all have double stitched hems with UV stable header tape and UV stable recycled thread finished with a tail and tail to give you the most flexibility when using them.
