Annin Flagmakers (2220) SolarGuard Nyl-Glo American Flag - 4 x 6 Feet

*** 3/1/16 Update - I bought this Annin American flag from Amazon in Jan 2015 and began flying it the day I received it. It has been on my flagpole 24/7/365 since then (well lighted at night, of course). It has endured countless rainstorms; high, blustery winds; sleet and snow storms (I live in N. IL) and searing sunny days and is holding up wonderfully. The colors are still bright and vibrant and the hems are still tight, there isn't the slightest bit of wear and tear or loose threads on the bordering edges or the flying end, and it is still beautiful.I got my new American Flag today and when I opened the box it came in...WOW, a deep blue field and brilliant white stars. When I took my older colors down for retirement and had this on my flagpole my eyes beheld a beauty. But being a veteran I have never seen an American Flag that, to my eyes, is not a beauty to behold. Some may be older and a bit faded or possibly frayed on the flying edge but these are MY colors. MY national flag. The colors I served under. And every American Flag is a reminder to me of my country, my lost friends, and I swell with admiration anytime I see her and take pride in having served under her.It seems to be a well made flag but only time will tell of its; longevity. I fly my flag 24/7/365 (well lighted at night) and have hopes of this lasting me for a good 6 months to a year - I replace my American Flag when it starts to become faded or frayed - and will update this concerning the durability.One word about Annin's guarantee about free replacement against fading - it does not cover the regular fading of the blue field or red stripes that is common with nylon flags. The guarantee included with my flag states:(Quote)2 - Color guarantee applies to base color retention only. Both red and blue colors will not fade to orange and purple, respectively, as may be common on all other nylon US flags. Some color lightening may occur. This does not affect the usefulness of the flag and is not covered under this guarantee.(End quote)It's too bad Annin does not include this distinction in the mentioning of their guarantee. It seems to me to be a bit misleading and could make someone think that this flag will resist routine and regular fading. I have been flying nylon American Flags outside my home for decades and have never had the red stripes turn orange or the blue field become purple. But I only fly quality, Made in the USA flags so maybe this type of fading/color change could happen on some cheap imports - Heaven knows why any American citizen would want to fly an non-Made in the USA American flag but that is a choice they are entitled to in America.Overall I am pleased with my new Annin flag.

I have gone through countless flags over the years trying to find one that can truly stand up to the harsh New England weather—the brutal sun of summer and the high winds and ice of winter. The Annin Flagmakers SolarGuard Nyl-Glo American Flag (4x6 ft) is, without question, the best flag I have ever owned. This is an investment, not a disposable item.What Makes It Worth Every Penny:Unmatched Durability: The Nyl-Glo nylon material is fantastic. It's lightweight enough to catch the slightest breeze and fly beautifully, yet it's incredibly strong. The stitching is absolutely superb; the four rows of stitching on the fly end (the part that takes the most abuse from the wind) are heavy-duty and show zero signs of fraying after months of constant exposure.Vibrant, True Colors: The SolarGuard treatment truly keeps the colors vibrant. The red, white, and blue are rich and deep, and they haven't faded at all under intense summer sun. It looks just as crisp today as the day I took it out of the box.Beautiful Craftsmanship: The embroidered stars are dense, perfectly aligned, and look stunning up close. This is a flag made with pride and quality. The brass grommets are robust and securely fastened, easily handling the tension on the pole.Made in the USA: It's important to me to purchase a flag made by a respected American company, and Annin's quality backs up their heritage.If you are tired of buying a cheap flag every six months only to watch it shred and fade, make the leap and get this SolarGuard Nyl-Glo. It is built to last, looks magnificent, and I expect it will fly proudly for years to come. Highly recommended for anyone serious about displaying the flag

I had this flag kit in my Amazon cart for days, waiting until we closed the deal on our new-to-us Florida home courtesy of a VA loan. In my mind, I knew I wanted to celebrate with something special. This 3x5' flag from Annin did not disappoint - it exceeded my expectations.I had to rig a special mount for the flag holder to appease the HOA overlords and used a steel band to attach the base to the trunk of our palm tree to minimize any damage to the tree. As for the flag itself, I chose the 3x5' size so I could easily fly it without touching the ground since the base was only about five feet off the ground. As a veteran, proper flag etiquette is important to our family of patriots.The colors are bright and vibrant. The stitching is robust, the grommets are perfectly spaced. And the embroidered stars seem to just jump off the background. As soon it was safely mounted, I stepped back and offered Old Glory a snappy salute befitting her new home. Then I took this photo.There was a stiff breeze blowing our way from the Gulf of America some fifteen miles west of us, and the lightweight nylon fabric swayed and moved with the ebb and flow of the breeze. I sat in the garage some twenty feet away and watched... mesmerized by the beauty. Neighbors went by and honked and waved when they spotted the new addition to our front yard. Not gonna lie - it made these old eyes leak a little.I love this setup so much that I'm considering an identical one for the palm tree on the other side of the driveway. Folks, buy with confidence from an AMERICAN company that employs AMERICAN workers. I cannot love this flag enough - thanks, ANNIN, for making this old vet swell with pride. 'Merica!

Love this flag manufacturer. Very good quality.

Beautiful flag, well made. Very happy with my purchase. Will definitely buy this brand again.

Our old flag was faded and began to rip so we retired it. I refuse to buy a flag made in another country. This flag was reasonably priced for being made in America. The colors are nice and vibrant and it seems to be decent quality although time will tell how well it holds up. My one gripe is that I do not care to see the manufacturers name on the white border in between the brass grommets. It really stick out like a sore thumb. I want to see an American flag not an advertisement.

I ordered another one because my last flag (from here) lasted a year. Here in the UV blasting area of Florida. This ia quality flag!

Great product, high quality, repeat buyer (due to normal fading when flying daily for years). Highly recommend Annin!

I am German and from Germany and finally I am closer to my dream. My heart beats for America. I will have the flag with pride in my apartment. Just happy. I can't write in words how happy I am. Thank you very much for that. I still don't hold them in my hand. But in 2 days it's finally time. Thank you for sending me them.

Over the years I have bought many flags from different companies and after reading the reviews on this flag I thought I would buy this one!I will never buy a flag from a different company again!!! The quality and material of this flag is outstanding! I have never seen a flag of better quality ever! It was a little bit more money then others I have purchased but well work it! You will notice the difference in this flag as soon as you open the box!

This is a great quality - the stars are actually embroidered rather than printed. It was the perfect centre piece for our red, white and blue themed party.

Amazing Quality and one of the Prettiest Flags in the World. Bless America!

Made in the USofA! Top Quality! Will look beautiful for YEARS to come. I’ve included mine in a retirement display case and the stitching detail is impeccable. It also included the US Flag Code which was a great learning lesson to my daughter who didn’t know flag etiquette. Don’t order from anywhere but Annin Flagmakers.
