Allegiance Flags Supply is a well-known direct-to-consumer American flag brand. America First Flagpoles sells the same caliber of 100% US-sewn flags — plus a much wider catalog: every US state flag, all military service flags, civil service flags (police, fire, EMS), and historic American flags.
Every flag we sell is sewn in the United States, ships free in the continental US, and is backed by a real person on the phone. Most flag orders ship within 1–3 business days.

Why Customers Choose America First Flagpoles
American Flags — Nylon vs Polyester
Every American flag we sell is sewn in the United States with embroidered stars and lock-stitched stripes — never printed. Shop the full lineup in our American flags collection.
Heavyweight nylon is the best choice for most homes — lightweight enough to fly in a gentle breeze, durable in all four seasons. 2-ply polyester is the heavy-duty option for high-wind regions, coastal areas, and commercial flagpoles 30 ft and taller. See our nylon vs polyester comparison to pick the right material.
Sizes range from 2×3 ft (small porch mounts) up to 30'×60' (large commercial and institutional poles). Match flag hoist to roughly 1/4 of pole height — see our flag size guide.
State Flags — All 50 States
We carry every US state flag, sewn or printed in the United States in standard 3×5 ft and 4×6 ft sizes. State flags are typically flown below the American flag on the same halyard, or on a second flagpole of equal or lesser height.
For flag etiquette and proper display order, see our American flag etiquette guide.
Military Service Flags
Show your service and your branch with US-sewn flags from every branch of the armed forces — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Shop the full military flags collection.
Common configurations: fly the military flag below the American flag on a single halyard, or mount on a wall-mount outrigger pole alongside the home flag. Active duty, veterans, and first responders also qualify for our military & first responder discount.
Civil Service & First Responder Flags
Honor police, fire, and EMS with US-sewn civil service flags — including the Thin Blue Line, Thin Red Line, and Thin White Line series. Available in standard 3×5 ft size with brass grommets and reinforced fly end.
These flags are typically flown alongside the American flag on a separate pole, or on memorial days at half-staff per local protocol.
Historic American Flags
Add a piece of American history to your flag display. Our historic flags collection includes Betsy Ross (13 stars), the Gadsden flag ("Don't Tread On Me"), the 1776 flag, the Bennington flag, and more — all US-made.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is America First Flagpoles a good alternative to Allegiance Flags?
Yes. America First Flagpoles sells 100% US-sewn American, state, military, civil service, and historic flags with free shipping in the continental US. Flag orders typically ship in 1–3 business days.
Are your American flags made in the USA?
Yes. Every American flag we sell is sewn in the United States with embroidered stars and lock-stitched stripes — never printed and never imported.
What flag material lasts the longest?
Heavyweight nylon is the best all-around choice for residential flagpoles. 2-ply polyester is heavier and holds up better in high-wind and coastal regions but needs more breeze to fly. Both materials typically last 9–12 months of daily flight before fraying. Nylon sheds rain and dries fast; polyester absorbs water and becomes noticeably heavier during storms, which adds strain on the halyard and fly end.
Do you sell all 50 US state flags?
Yes. Every US state flag is available in standard 3×5 ft and 4×6 ft sizes, sewn or printed in the United States. See the full state flag collection.
Do you sell military service flags?
Yes — we carry US-sewn flags for every branch: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. Active duty, veterans, and first responders qualify for our military and first responder discount.
What is the proper way to fly a state or military flag with the American flag?
The American flag always flies highest. On a single halyard, fly the American flag on top and the state, military, or other flag directly below it. On separate poles, the American flag goes on the tallest pole or, on equal poles, to the observer's left.
How long do American flags last?
A US-sewn nylon or 2-ply polyester flag flown daily lasts typically 9–12 months before fraying. Lifespan depends on local wind, UV exposure, and proximity to salt air.
Do you offer free shipping on flags?
Yes — standard shipping is free in the continental US on all flags.
