Good info, thanks. Another thing I look for is made in USA ones.....it's shocking how many off the shelf ones are made in various countries like china or taiwan.
Thanks. I am glad to someone who likes to hang their flag for 12 months. I have never had a flag that lasted more than 6 month. I will buy a polyester one and see if I have as good luck as yopu.
Dave, if you are like me, you may not like having a flag that has faded, even though it hasn't ripped......... I don't see a value in flying a faded flag, and according to this video, Nylon and Polyester both fade at the same rate......... My thinking anyway! Thank you for flying your flag!
I fly mine 365 ive used both the biggest issue ive had with both is the clip rings rusting and making the fabric look mehh so ive been having to buy a new flag every 12 months
Thanks for this informative video. I have a big US flag that I bought over 10 years ago, but I fly it maybe 10 days out of the year. And the last few years I have not flown it at all, because it is so badly faded. It has no rips or mechanical flaws though..... Here is the description of my flag from the receipt: American Flag 6ft x 10ft Valley Forge Koralex II 2-Ply Sewn Polyester". Previous flags I have owned have tattered along the flapping edge. In any event, the fading ruins the display value as much as does getting ripped. So after watching your video, I think I would be better served to buy a nylon flag, and to replace it as soon as it starts to tear, or fade. What good is it, at least for me, to have a mechanically sound flag, but which is so faded that it doesn't display well???? So I'll spend less on a nylon flag, and replace it more often........ Again, thank you for your very honest and informative video! God Bless America!
Also, can you make shirts or blankets out of this polyester material sure after a while, the polyester flags make you sweat it’s a good at holding body heat and I guess when you’re in a room and when you’re outside too at work, are you starting about five spectera pro Alabama flag at my dog daycare job on cold days with my little on with the flag wrapped around me and It’s 60 to 70° inside the flag is wrapped around me and that little space is that one on the outside and In the 40s and 30s
Put the Florida flag I have from United States flag company. I have a super polyester before that I had another one in a 3 x 5 but then I had a super power yesterday double sided like the Alabama flag that single-sided and I’m wearing something stronger have a heavy duty Florida flying from United States flag store for $40 specifically so I can fly and strong winds in survive, and when flew it in strong winds it came undone on the bottom corner on the flight and not a part below the fly And ensure a little spot we went to feed off the winds were gusting to 45 or worse staying at 45 apparently Let’s do your flex win 45 mile an hour winds, and it looks fine
I could try to figure out how to sew it together or you can use mighty mend it too. They have any materials to and different versions of nylons some hold up better and some don’t even last a minute in 10 mile an hour winds Selling a home together but on the top corner, it will start to come on Fred. I don’t know if that’s a defect or white I have an Arizona flag and I had a fluent for while I’m gone in 2022 in Arizona at some Flagstone Scottsdale when I went out there with my dad because he had a job out there and then we went to Vegas afterwards but anyways I hadn’t flown in for a while or an all weather when we got back in the first time and decide to fly whenever some rain coming not bad the winds were 10 to 13 miles an hour 10 I think the strongest It flew nicely in terms of very slowly and moved easily and that kind of wind but then it kind of started to come on friend like I said, and then it got faded after a while why fluid, and then part of my concern, laughter while decided to put it on the trailer. We have here in Alabama at my dad’s house before I moved out and now that’s where it is and now it’s kind of faded on there and it’s kind of starting to get some strings on it or it didn’t have strings on the other end, but still it happened in 2017 to my aunt got me a 4 x 6 belt and friend. It was originally for her son because she likes soccer but it was too big and I decided to fly on the beach at some point while we were there and then that’s when it started to come undone on the same spot on the top right corner not on the actual flight end, but only him on the top you know what I mean the top of the flag on the corner not the top right corner on the fly in for the top right corner above the flying. I don’t know what that part of the flag is called even though I am somewhat pretty knowledgeable on flgs
Gettysburg flag if this is right eder flg or allied flg whxever mde it. Bt they’ve bth held up really well, do Ukraine flag from the one? I’m not sure the second company I mentioned the second or third company not basically the flag not from Gettysburg. Ukraine is starting to kind of come on down a little bit. I’m on the part where the other flanges are coming in town Bellingham in Gettysburg. Sorry, Belgium, and Arizona, and naming on the actual flying part below the other part on the top right corner but still the Alabama flag was up for all last summer and winter too. I put it up in February and it lasted the whole year I didn’t really feed that bad either new material got a little bit softer in some points that may have faded a tad, but it wasn’t even that bad when I first got it. I was like cool I know I have a flag. It’s lightweight but stronger than light weight Chinese remain in China super polyester what is presently heading up in some 31 Mount Olive wins. We had on the street and some person downtown at some apartment building and the exact same model number of Alabama flag I did and it lasted six months which I was kind of surprised Łüł lasted a long time and I assume six months to a few months compared to some other polyester lightweight flags. But yeah, the windows to 31 on our street and before that the highest cost was 25 and it was just Sustained or staying, mainly around around 20 to 15 to 18 I think I do not expect that thgh
Wait a minute, you were given a damaged american flag, and you didn't return it? Then you had the audacity to put up said damaged flag and flown it for a year?! That's disrespectful. Shame on both the flag company and you. Unlike you, if the flag is damaged in any way, i take it to my local vfw and have them take care of it.
If the flag is really badly damaged. Change it and there is light damage on it. I own a Canadian flag. Flown since drapeau du Franco ontarien. Wasn't damage only had little damage. I don't live in the us but your comment is the most stupid comment I've seen here.
Good info, thanks. Another thing I look for is made in USA ones.....it's shocking how many off the shelf ones are made in various countries like china or taiwan.
Yes!
They also throw them on the ground after making them, before packaging they fall onto the factory floor. lol
Agreed
I use poly’s from Grace Alley. 100% American and veteran operation. Been flying there’s for 20 years🇺🇸
there is spray you can get that protects the polyester flags from fading it is called scotch Brite
You rock bro 💪🏻 🙌
Thanks for taking one for the team!

“So I’ll spend less on a nylon flag, and replace it more often”
Sounds like a win-win to me 👍
God Bless!
