Product Description
The Nylon Signature American Flag is the step up from our standard nylon American flag. The stars are embroidered 25% larger than usual with polished white thread, so the union reads clearly from the street, and every stripe is hand-sewn with four rows of lock stitching in color-matched polyester thread. The 200 denier nylon is dyed with ColorFast dyes and treated to resist UV fading.
The flag finishes with a white poly/cotton duck heading and two #2 brass grommets, one at the top and one at the bottom, so it fits any standard outdoor pole with snap hooks. It comes in 3 FT x 5 FT for house brackets and residential poles and 4 FT x 6 FT for 20 FT to 25 FT poles, and it is made in the USA.
Nylon Signature American Flag Features
- Larger embroidered stars – each of the 50 stars is embroidered 25% larger than a standard flag, in polished white thread, so the union stands out at a distance.
- Hand-sewn stripes – 13 stripes joined with four rows of double-needle lock stitching, about 8 stitches per inch, with back-stitch reinforcement.
- ColorFast 200 denier nylon – fully dyed, UV-resistant nylon that keeps its color through a full season of sun and rain.
- Poly/cotton duck heading with #2 brass grommets – a stiff white heading takes the strain at the hoist, with heavy-duty brass grommets that will not rust.
- Flies in light wind – nylon lifts in a mild breeze and dries fast after a storm, which is why it is the everyday choice for homes and businesses.
- Made in the USA – sewn here, as an American flag should be.
Historical Background
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.
Embroidered stars date from the days when every flag was sewn by hand, and they remain the mark of a quality flag. A signature-grade flag keeps that construction and enlarges the stars slightly, a change that came from customers who wanted a flag that reads as sewn, not printed, from across a parking lot or a parade route.
