(54) Cloth for a flag or the like and method for its manufacture


(57) A cloth for a flag (2) or the like is made of a knitted or woven fabric. The cloth comprises a uniformly dense pattern (3) over its entire surface area, and only at least one edge thereof comprises an integrally woven or knitted strip (4) of a different, in particular a more open pattern. In the method for forming said cloth, said weaving or knitting is carried out in an at least substantially uniformly dense pattern over the entire surface area, with the exception of at least one edge, where a strip comprising a different, in particular a more open pattern is integrally woven or knitted. In this manner a cloth for a flag is formed which is remarkable for its resistance to wear at the edge.
