Flag Sweater Design Details

The design is machine embroidered at approximately 20cm x 18cm across the chest on a Light Blue sweatshirt, giving the artwork a soft coastal backdrop. The main text reads “AMERICAN SUMMER” in bold varsity-style lettering, slightly arched for a vintage collegiate souvenir feel. Beneath it, a wavy flag moves like a pennant in faded navy, dusty red, warm cream, vintage gray, and dark charcoal thread. Small cream stars, softened stripe edges, a tiny baseball cap outline, and simple sunglasses add preppy summer cues that feel intentional rather than busy. With 5 thread colors and a balanced chest layout, the finish feels nostalgic, patriotic, and wearable past one holiday.
