Wow the description of the flag in the flag code is amusingly vague: "The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field."
According to the wikipedia page, the exact specification is given in "Executive Order 10834," but strictly it only applies to flags made for and by the federal government.
Well I'm not the federal government, so this is my flag now!
Also I'm Canadian... don't ask why I need an American flag
