American Flag - Tough-Tex Polyester - For Outdoor Use

TOUGH-TEX POLYESTER AMERICAN FLAG

At Flags USA, our Tough-Tex polyester American flags:

• Are not only durable but are also the most colorfast of our three styles. (A comparable flag is the Standard Polyester)
• Come with a one-year colorfast guarantee; The red won't turn orange, and the blue won't turn purple. (The guarantee does not cover wear and tear.)
• Are 100% MADE IN THE USA — not just assembled in the USA, but manufactured here, too.
• Are made with an open-weave, two-ply polyester material.
• Are recommended for outdoor use.
• Have stripes that are sewn together using a specialty thread and a durable lock stitch.
• Embroidered stars on 3x5'-12x18' and Appliqued stars that are sewn (rather than glued) on 15x25' and larger.
• 3x5-6x10' are finished with heading and grommets. 8x12' and larger are finished with a rope heading and two galvanized steel thimbles.
• The 10x15' and larger flags have additional grommets in the heading:
  1 additional grommet - 10x15', 10x19', 12x18'
  3 additional grommets - 15x25', 20x30', 20x38'
  5 additional grommets - 30x50', 30x60'

DO I NEED BEADED RETAINER RINGS?

If you are flying your flag outdoors, we recommend using Beaded Retainer Rings at the bottom thimble and at every grommet. These rings distribute the stress along the whole length of the flag, which prolongs the life of the flag. (See chart below to determine quantity you will need.)

PURCHASING A FLAG 8'x12' OR LARGER?

If you are purchasing a flag 8'x12' or larger, you will need to secure each thimble and grommet to the halyard (rope) using a snaphook. For flags up to 15'x25', we recommend Brass Swivel Snaphooks in the 4.75" size. For flags 20'x30' and larger, we recommend Stainless Steel Snaphooks for Large Flags. (See chart below to determine quantity you will need.)
