U.S.A. Flag Material Comparison
When purchasing an American flag, you should consider the fabric type. This is because it directly impacts the flag’s appearance, durability, color-fastness, and resistance to mildew and rot. Additionally, factors such as personal preference, flag size, and cost should also be taken into account.
We craft our United States flags from the finest domestic materials to ensure lasting quality. Moreover, they feature heavy-duty construction, with lock-stitched seams for added strength. In addition, the stars are densely embroidered on smaller flags. Larger flags feature zig-zag appliqué for durability and visual appeal. Most importantly, every flag we offer is proudly made in America by American workers, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity.
When comparing flag fabrics, 200-denier nylon is a great choice because it is lightweight, flies easily in the slightest breeze, and provides vibrant colors with excellent UV resistance, making it ideal for most weather conditions. On the other hand, 2-ply spun polyester is heavier and more rugged, specifically designed to withstand high winds and harsher environments. However, it does require stronger winds to fly effectively.
Your location, climate, and desired flag performance determine which fabric you should choose.
