We exceed US government specifications for material and workmanship. Unlike others we use superior bonded nylon thread for extra strength. 100% Made in the USA.
*Remember that old strand of Christmas lights?* The kind that when 1 bulb goes out, they all go out? It's the same way with many American Flags and how they are stitched! If you purchase a flag with chain stitching, as soon as 1 single thread breaks the whole stripe will come completely apart! You've probably seen them on neighbors houses right? Well, our outdoor flags will NOT do that! Ours have lock stitching not only on the fly end, but also on EVERY STRIPE and around the canton (star field). Rest assured that no matter what material you choose, when you shop with Gettysburg Flag Works, you are getting the very best American flag!

What is the lifespan of a flag?

A flag's life span is impossible to predict; it is like predicting
the weather. The major enemies of a flag are wind, sun and
carelessness...the single greatest cause of flag deterioration.
No one can control the weather, but you can take care of
your flag and lengthen its life by doing the following:

Occasional washing in warm mild detergent;
Let your flag dry thoroughly before storing it;
Have your flag repaired at the first sign of fraying;
Take your flag down at night and during bad weather.

Our flags are manufactured to give maximum service in return for
reasonable care and prudent use. Remember, no two flags receive
identical wear. The best way to stretch your "flag dollar" is to
have three flags: one flying, one in the wash, and one clean one in
storage for special occasions.
