Custom Jacks
Custom Jacks is a veteran owned and operated company that tributes patriotism with beautifully hand-made works of art featuring the flag, or “jack,” of the U.S.A. Show your loyalty to the red, white and blue flag of the United States of America, with any of their unique, 100% Hand Made in the U.S.A, fine works of art. You can choose from one of their original works of art constructed on 2×4 planks of wood, or design your own for that one-of-a-kind Custom Jack you envision.
Founded by two veterans with a passion for their country and it’s flag, they dedicated many projects to military veterans and first responders. During one of these passion projects, the idea came to create a waving flag out of thick, beautiful wood paying tribute to Old Glory. As friends and family saw the fruits of this passion project, they began receiving requests for more flags. That is how Custom Jacks was born.
Here are some pictures of one of their most popular flags that is only available in medium and large size right now.
Discount Code: You can use code VETERAN20 for 20% off your order!

We received several of their grenade soaps in different scents as well as some solid cologne, knife hand rehab, and beard oil. All of the scents are amazing!
