We carefully choose the
quality of the fabrics used in our flags. Flag fabrics are
subject to a unique set of demands. Flags must combine many
opposing properties, i.e., they must be colorfast to both
sun and rain, lightweight in construction, and have a high
tensile strength. You can feel confident in any of the
fabrics that we offer that you are purchasing not only a
beautiful flag but a durable flag.
Nylon
We use a heavyweight DuPont Solarmax nylon. It is
the longest lasting, fade resistant nylon available. With a
combination of strength, brilliance and quick drying
ability, it is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Great in rainy areas, its light-weight and close weave
enable it to fly in the slightest breeze, giving the fullest
visual effect.
G-Spec
Nylon
The G-Spec line of flags are identical to those that the
U.S. Government has specified. Exclusive Perma-Nyl
industrial strength 70 denier lightweight nylon,
Lock-stitched seams, material and color matched thread. Heavy
duty canvas heading and official Government size (1:1.9)
host fly ratio. The sizes of these flags may seem a little
unusual, but they are made to the "official" dimensions.
Polyester
Made of 100% spun polyester, its 2x2 ply
construction combines durability, strength and a deeper red
than the nylon. Very similar in appearance to a cotton flag
but much more durable. Takes a little more wind to get it to
fly then a nylon flag, but should give a little extra life
in windy areas.
Hercules
Hercules polyester is the perfect choice for areas prone to
severe weather conditions as the open weave design really
stands up to the weather. Hercules polyester is bright and
beautiful and holds its brightness longer than traditional
polyesters.
Cotton
For many years cotton was the standard for flag fabric. With
the introduction of Nylon and polyester, cotton has taken a
back seat to the more durable fabrics. We do not recommend
cotton for extended exposure to the elements, however, for a
traditional look on a "Betsy Ross" Flag, it may fit your
needs.
Cotton
Tea Dyed
Our Elizabeth Ross heritage line of flags are the best
looking "antiqued" flags to be found. A 100% cotton flag is
stained using a tea solution to give it an antiqued
appearance. Both the 50 star and Betsy Ross styles are
available with grommets or sleeved. The heritage line also
includes full fan and mini fan bunting as well as the new
tea dyed garden flag.
