William Driver, an early 19th century American sea captain, gave the American flag the nickname "Old Glory". Driver moved to our hometown of Nashville, TN when retired from the sea, just before he Civil War broke out. In an attempt to protect the flag from the rebel government, he hid Old Glory by sewing it inside of a comforter to protect it. Thankfully, we no longer need to hide our pride in our flag, and these star cufflinks are the perfect patriotic touch to any outfit.----Fabric placement will varyButton dimension is 5/8 of an inch.
