About the flag
The ratio is stated in Album 2000 [pay00] as 2:3, with note that 1:2 flags exist. The flag is marked as , which is correct, as far as I know, from 1985.
Zeljko Heimer, 03 Feb 2001

A complete and exaustive legislation about the [argentine] national symbols is missing. An inter-ministry commission, in wich the [Argentine History] Academy participated by way of one of its members, ellaborated in the years (?) 1989 a law draft that was presented to the Congress [the argentine parlament], but wasn’t considered for voting after all. More recently some legislators has presented more drafts, but only about the flag. These remained as drafts only.
Nestor Poitevin (Argentine History Academy), 20 Aug 1999, translated by Antonio Martins

The Argentine standard was conceived by General Belgrano, at the place where today is located the city of Rosario. He got the inspiration while he was staring at the sky, just before a battle, at the shores of the Parana.
Felipe Flores Pinto, 23 Feb 1998

The Argentine Flag Day, 20th June, is Belgrano’s death anniversary.

How to display and carry the flag
When ceremonially carried, the Argentine flag is subject to certain particular and elaborated practices:

Flag Apparels:
The law requires that an Argentine National Pavillion (a carrying flag) shall be:
Tied by four sets of double white ribbons to a carrying pole.
The carrying pole shall be of a specific national wood (similar to mahogany), 2.10 m tall, tipped with a silver polished metal point and a horizontal crescent.
A Cravatte, with a bow and two long tippets, all in the same design as the flag, finished in gold thread, shall be tied to the point. The name of the Army, School, Club, etc. could be embroidered on the tippets. Decorations and medals (if any) are pinned to the cravatte.
The Sun of May (which is centered in the white stripe), complete with face and right and flaming rays, shall be embroidered in gold thread, normally with a certain volume or relief in the face.
Flag Bearers:
The carrying belt is not frontal, but a complete body band, used from left shoulder to waist, made of strong leather and covered with satin flag colours. It shall have an embroidered national coat of arms (not the Sun of May, to avoid confussion with the Presidential badge).
The flag bearer shall wear white gloves.
As you can easily imagine, ceremonial flags (which are a must in Schools, Scout Groups, etc) are expensive. In my last check, the full set will cost around US$ 800! Flags are always carried with at least two escoltas (escorts). Flag bearers are usually selected through a careful screening process, and even in schools there is strong competition to achieve the honour.
Sergio Laurenti, 29 Jan 1996

According to art. 4 of the Misiones Province flag law, school parades chose for their national flag carrier the student with best grades.
