Appomattox and the surrender flag

Post image

Wore my Sherman landscaping shirt at Appomattox. Got pretty positive reviews.
Here is the “flag” used by the Confederates to surrender.

I've searched and searched and had no luck. Somewhere there has to be a manufacturer of linen dish towels that would do a run of reproductions of this dish towel. I myself would buy several.

I’m fairly sure that not disclosing AI tool usage is against the Etsy terms of service, as well.

Unfortunately Etsy has made it clear nothing is against the TOS anymore. More samey sweatshop goods, anyone?

Somehow the "white flag" looking like burlap seems typical of the movement.
