Cotton American Flag

Traditional Cotton American Flags

The softest and most traditional flag material - ideal for specific displays. Our Columbia® Cotton American flag is specially made with Irish header, while the other Cotton American flags listed on this page feature a traditional header material.

Heavy duty flags like the Battle-Tough® nylon flag and Steadfast® polyester options are built to last. Cotton, on the other hand, is usually reserved for indoor displays due to its nicer appearance up close!

If you're in the market for a USA-made American flag that's perfect for traditional displays, check out the key features of our cotton flags below.
