Clawgear Latvia Flag Patch

The white stripe is narrower than the other two. The Latvian flag is not a tricolor with equal stripes: the central stripe is half the width of the carmine stripes that frame it.

Why this proportion is a test

On a flag with equal stripes, the eye doesn't look for anything: three thirds are three thirds. Here, the ratio must be exact, otherwise the flag simply looks badly printed. A white stripe that is a few threads too wide or too thin, and the proportion is noticeable.

High-resolution weaving allows transitions to be placed thread by thread – a precision that embroidery, which works with thick threads, cannot guarantee on a narrow stripe.

White, the color that betrays

A light solid color immediately reveals a manufacturing defect. In embroidery, white thread takes on relief, gets dirty in the hollows, and yellows. Woven flat, it remains uniform and cleans without crevices.
