Flag throwing flags (Schwingerfahnen) and accessories
Flag throwing is both custom and sport — and it exists in this form only in Switzerland. Around 300 active throwers perform at yodelling and Schwingen festivals, alpine fairs and national celebrations. For a flag to fly cleanly, everything has to be right: the weight of the cloth, the conical sleeve, the reinforced corners and the balanced stick.
That is exactly what we make in our manufactory in Neudorf. Every flag throwing flag is created 100% by Swiss handcraft — from the sewn-in coat of arms to the fastening loops.
What makes a flag fit for competition
For federal flag throwing, only Swiss and cantonal flags with official heraldry are permitted. The prescribed size is 120 cm square — we make our flags in the proven commercial size of 121 × 121 cm. Pure silk or artificial silk are the approved materials.
There are no regulations for the stick. A length of around 150 cm is considered ideal — exactly the length of our standard stick.
The current Technical Regulations for Flag Throwing of the Swiss Yodelling Association (EJV) are always binding.

Care and repair
Silk does not like moisture — no outdoor throwing in the rain. Let the flag dry after use and always store it in its case, never folded under pressure for long periods. We repair damaged seams, corners and loops in our own manufactory; simply send us the flag or drop it off.
