And, from what I've read, the horizontal red and white stripes are the origin of the stripes in Old Glory.

The ensign Washington used to ride around with during the Revolution was 13 white stars on a blue field, which became the upper left part of our flag.

His coat looks a lot like the O'Neill coat.
