Looking for an American Flag for outdoors

[TX69]

Where is the best place to buy an American made American Flag for hanging outside on my home? I think 3x5 is a good enough size and I would like to make sure the hardware is sturdy and has a way to lock the pole/flag down.

Any tips?

Ace Hardware. They sell the flags, poles, and anything else you may need.

My Texas flag that I bought at Ace-Hardware is made by Perma-Nyl. Made in the USA. You can try looking that company up on Amazon to get it a little cheaper. My American flag that I bought a few years ago has no markings on it that I can find, so I can't help you out there. But I'm sure Perma-Nyl makes American flags as well.

If you want an honest to god, American made American flag that will last, and you're willing to pay a little more, look for an Annin (Anin?). A lot of American flags are made in China... what a disgrace! Annin has been making them here for over a century. They've even got a "mesh" (though you couldn't tell without looking up close) flag that is good for high winds because it let's the air blow through easier, thus reducing the wear and tear from the flag whipping. Annin flags also resist fading quite well. It will last a lifetime if stored properly (up in the morning, down at night, not out in the rain or properly dried if wet, etc).

Do believe so. And at that price, you'd be nuts to buy anything cheaper for an inferior product. Only thing that would top an Annin, in my book, is if it were Texas made ... and same or better quality.

+100.

They made a custom flag for me. From design to production it took one week, and it was made by Texans in Texas!

No, no, and no to everything written here. I can't post a direct link here for some reason, but click the first link here ("Please fill out the flag request form"):

Best quality, lowest prices. Flown over the capital to boot!

 

[TheDan]

Good call, London!

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Getting one!

When I was overseas, we could give the camp american flags that we wanted flown, and they would fly it for a day, then return it to you with a nice little commemorative letter. I wonder if I can just send a flag to the capitol? It'd be extra cool if I could get on the flag detail that day.

I'd be interested in the hardware folks have found. We had three poles and four mounts on our house in 5 years...and that was AFTER moving the flag out of the prevailing winds! A couple of neighbors had a 2" pole and serious mount purchased from Costco7-8 years ago; but no such set-up was to be found when I went searching. Since we're in a townhouse now, I'll opt for the smaller flag, I reckon. Seems everything got downsized!

Which capitol we talking about here Jeremy? Texas, I trust.

Try tractor supply. Or we have a flag manufacturer here in kyle.
If you cant find what you want, i can go over there and get it.

Got mine from a busy street, getting ran over by everyone. I proudly wave that tire marked flag in the front of my house. The important thing is that you have it in front of your house.

Just keep in mind a 3'x5' flag is a school and business size flag that looks nice on a pole. Residential flags that are mounted on the side of the house are more commonly 2.5'x3'. You can mount the larger flag on your house but it might look oversized.

That's another part I need to figure out. Installing a legit flag pole or just mounting it on the front porch or garage.
