High-quality United States of America flag, engineered for long-lasting performance in any weather condition. Constructed from high-quality nylon material, it resists fading, tearing, and moisture damage while maintaining vibrant color integrity. Featuring sewn stripes and embroidered stars on sizes up to 6x10' and appliqué stars on 8x12' and larger. Reinforced brass grommets with strong heading (sizes up to 6x10') and galvanized thimbles with rope heading (sizes 8x12' and larger) ensure secure attachment to any standard flagpole without slipping. Proudly manufactured in the USA, this flag combines American craftsmanship with reliable construction for residential or commercial use.
Why Nylon Is the Right Flag for Most American Flagpoles
Nylon is the flag we recommend to 8 out of 10 homeowners. It's lighter than polyester, which means it flies in lighter breezes and doesn't require a stiff wind to look right against the sky. The material sheds rain and dries fast — a wet nylon flag stays close to its dry weight, so the halyard and fly end aren't stressed harder in a storm — and it holds color longer than cotton, so a nylon flag left flying 24/7 with proper lighting typically lasts 9–12 months of continuous outdoor use before the fly end starts to fray.
Every flag we sell is made in the USA with brass grommets, sewn stripes, and embroidered stars. The 3×5 ft size is standard for 20 ft residential poles; step up to 4×6 ft for 25 ft poles and 5×8 ft for larger residential or small commercial installations. If your location sees sustained winds above 25 MPH more days than not — coastal, plains, hilltop — consider polyester for a heavier, more substantial flag, though expected life is similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size American flag do I need for my flagpole?
The flag should be roughly one-quarter the pole's height. That works out to 3×5 ft for a 20 ft pole, 4×6 ft for a 25 ft pole, 5×8 ft for a 30 ft pole, and 6×10 ft for 35–40 ft poles.
How long does a nylon American flag last outdoors?
Continuously flown 24/7 with proper lighting, expect 9–12 months before the fly end starts to fray. Flags flown only on days of civic significance can last several years.
Is this flag made in the USA?
Yes — sewn and finished in the United States with domestically sourced nylon, brass grommets, and canvas header.

Sign InThe 250th anniversary flag is well made and waves beautifully.
Been flying these flags for years, they are the best quality! My flag flies 24/7/365 and I get about a year of life out of it. Probably could go a bit longer, but I like having a brand new flag flying each Spring.
