Product Description

A nylon American banner is an American flag finished with a sleeve instead of grommets, made for the 1 IN banner-style poles that mount on a house. The sleeve slides over the pole, and a tab at the top, leather or Velcro with a slit, fastens to the pole so the banner does not slide down or spin off.

The banner is heavyweight 200 denier nylon with a dense weave, densely embroidered stars, and sewn stripes, with four rows of stitching on the fly hem. Choose 2.5 FT x 4 FT with leather tab, 3 FT x 5 FT with leather tab, or 3 FT x 5 FT with Velcro tab. All are made in the USA.

The Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes on June 14, 1777, with 13 stripes for the original colonies and 13 stars for a new constellation. As states joined the Union the star count grew, and the 50-star pattern in use today was set on July 4, 1960 after Hawaii became a state. The rules for displaying the flag, including half-staff and nighttime display, are set out in the United States Flag Code.

The house pole with a sleeved flag is the most common way the flag is flown at home. It grew from the porch flag of the early twentieth century, a short staff in an angled bracket by the door, and the sleeve finish suits it better than grommets because there is no halyard to clip to. The tab at the top of the sleeve is what keeps a sleeved flag from wrapping and sliding on a windy day.

Symbolism at a Glance

  • Thirteen stripes: the original colonies that declared independence.
  • Fifty stars: the states of the Union, one star for each.
  • Red: hardiness and valor.
  • White: purity and innocence.
  • Blue: vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

  • House poles in an angled bracket by the front door or on a porch column.
  • Spinning poles that take a sleeved flag.
  • Replacement banners for a bracket set whose flag has faded.
  • Gifts for new homeowners who already have a pole.
  • Townhomes and condos where a bracket is the only flag mount allowed.

Leather tab or Velcro tab?

Both fasten the top of the sleeve to the pole so the banner stays in place. The Velcro tab has a slit that fits over the pole’s stop or screw. If you are not sure which your pole needs, call us with the pole details.

What size pole does it fit?

A 1 IN diameter banner-style pole. Measure your pole before ordering; the sleeve will not fit a thicker pole.

Banner or grommets?

A banner, with its sleeve, is for a house pole without a halyard. Grommets are for a pole with a halyard and snap hooks.

Is nylon or polyester better for my location?

Nylon flies in lighter wind and dries faster, so it suits most homes and businesses. Polyester is heavier and wears longer in steady high wind, such as coastal and hilltop sites. If your flag frays at the fly end within a few months, switch to polyester.

Can I fly this flag at night?

Yes, if it is lit. The Flag Code calls for the flag to be illuminated when it is displayed after dark.

What do I do when the flag wears out?

Bring it to us or send it in and we will tell you whether it can be repaired. If it is past saving, retire it through your local VFW or American Legion post, or at home following the Flag Code. Our repair and disposal page explains each option.
