A flag is a flag;? Flags may have the same style, there are lots of variables that figure out a flag's quality, sturdiness and cost. The weight of the thread and techniques used to sew the flag, specifically on the fly ends, identifies whether your flag will fray or shred in the wind.
Choice of Fabric
Although nylon is fantastic for many usages, our substantial line of American flags are also available in polyester and cotton.
Nylon - The most popular material option for both outdoor and indoor United States flags. Nylon is light and durable, stands up well to the elements, and dries quickly. Since it's light, it flies well in the tiniest breeze and has a bright appearance in sunlight.
Polyester - The finest option for severe weather conditions or high wind areas. Ounce-for ounce, longer using and heavier than nylon. Our flags are made with an unique weave that has the feel and look of cotton, flies well and lasts far longer than traditional weaves.
Cotton - Cotton is the standard flag fabric, so if you're a perfectionist, this is the fabric for you. Polyester comes close, but absolutely nothing can quite replicate the warmth of a cotton flag. Cotton flags are developed to withstand outside usage, but additional care should be required to maintain your cotton flag.
