Get up to a 40% discount on our most popular American Flags! Our Outdoor American Flags are made of 100% heavyweight, 200-denier nylon or 2-ply spun polyester. Reinforced nylon and 2-ply polyester American Flags have additional vertical stitching and reinforced corners. All flags are lock stitched except for our Nylon Chain Stitched American Flags (which is an economical alternative to lock stitched flags).
Nylon
Our most popular, U.S. Government specification flags, Eagle Nylon offers vivid colors, outstanding fade resistance on UV treated 100% heavy-weight, 200-denier nylon fabric.
Polyester
Crafted of 2-ply 100% spun polyester bunting, Eagle Poly II is designed to withstand freezing varied moisture, and winter winds. This heavy-weight product takes on a woven like appearance.
Canvas Header
Designed to stress relieve the fabric, outdoor flags are finished with a strong canvas header. This prevents breakdown where the flag attaches to the rope.
Embroidered Stars
8' x 12' and smaller US Flags have fully embroidered stars with five sharp points (using more thread)! Nylon US Flags have a white cotton star while Polyester US Flags a shiny nylon star.
Sewn Stars
US Flags larger than 8' x 12' have appliquéd or sewn stars to the canton. These stars are glued down to both sides of the fabric and then sewn all the way around the five points of the star.
Lock Stitching
All our standard and reinforced oudoor flags are lock stitched. Lock stitching doubles the thread to prevent unravaling of the fly-ends and fraying.
Chain Stitch
An economic alternative to lock stitching, these flags are great for temporary applications such as events or general outdoor use. Available in sizes up to 5' x 8'.
Grommets
Number 2 brass spur grommets hold up to heavy winds and swivel snap wear. Number of grommets per flag varies by flag size.
Thimbles
8' x 12' and larger flags, have a roped heading and thimbles to reduce stress along the canvas header. Thimbles are made of stainless steel.
