Can my flag be repaired?
When it comes to wear and tear, it is best to pursue repair sooner rather than later. Some flags are sadly beyond saving, but we’re happy to provide guidance on how to best dispose of and retire your American flag.
Repairable
If your flag is intact, and untattered stripes are longer than (or equal to) the length of its star field, our skilled craftspeople can fully repair your flag.
Non-repairable
If your flag’s intact stripes are shorter than the length of its star field, it is unfortunately beyond repair and time to find a replacement.

Flag Repair and Alteration Services
The fly end of a flag is the loose end that tatters in the wind over time. Our craftspeople can cut away and hem the tattered section.
By reinforcing the loose end (fly end) of your flag with additional stitching, we can prevent and slow tattering. Available for all flag sizes.
Our seamstresses can add a pole hem to any flag, so your flag can drape beautifully indoors or take part in a parade.
Recommended for flags measuring 8×12 feet and larger, rope and thimble pole attachments offer a heavier-duty alternative to classic grommets.
We can sew fringe onto any flag to provide a classic formal flair. Recommended for parade flags and indoor ceremonial display.
Recommended for large flags, our craftsmen patch the loose (fly end) corners of your flag to more effectively prevent damage.
Designed for flags attached to buildings, a grommeted patch is sewn to the bottom of your flag. A rod connects from the flagpole to the patch in order to prevent tangling.
Our flag makers can add a sturdy header and grommets to any flag. We can also adjust grommets for horizontal hanging.
