All the Apollo flags were simple, nylon, store-bought flags. They were actually purchased from Sears at the last minute before the LM was sealed for launch readiness preparations.

NASA was not originally going to include a flag on each mission but changed their minds shortly before the A11 launch. As such, they sent three secretaries out during their lunch hour to buy flags, each of them reported they bought flags off the shelf at Sears.
