I just bought my first flagpole (Uncommon Telescoping 20 footer) for my front lawn. I need to find some quality made 3X5 flags not the cheap crap.
Don't Tread on me Flag POW Flag Betsy Ross Flag Flags like that that are quality made. |

Yeah, go by what the website selling them says as opposed to people that actually have a clue. |

Not sure where you are going to source them. But, I can tell you to stay away from the flea market silk-screen type flags made of thin nylon. One good day of wind and the corners will be torn to shreds I promise you. They also fade like nobody's business.
In front of the unit we had a nice storm flag get shredded not too long ago, and it was not cheap either. So much for being a storm flag. The cotton flags, the kind you would drape on a coffin, are also terrible to fly outdoors. The colors run and make a nice mess in the snow if you try to fly one outside, then everyone knows exactly what you did. I seem to remember buying a really good flag out of the Sears catalog years ago for my dad to fly in front of his house. That, of course, dates when I placed the order. Did a quick search and they still carry the Govt Spec American Flags, and a good POW flag as well. POW/MIA |

Uhhh Thanks man, I would have never guessed to use Google........... I already tried that, I figured folks on this site love their flags as much as their guns and I wanted to hear what works best instead of looking up a bunch of flags that all claim to be top quality.... Google search something...... no way............. |

They are of the absolute highest quality, very reasonably priced, and shipping was prompt. I recommend them based on my experience there. Someone here recommended them some time ago and I followed their advice. Glad I did, I wouldn't even consider any other place at this point. |
