Annin Flagmakers (2720) Tough-Tex American Flag, Made in USA - 4 x 6 Feet | Polyester

My initial thoughts on this flag (Tough-Tex model) is that the quality is better than I expected. The material feels sturdy and was even stiff prior to flying. Color is superb! My plan is to abuse this flag to failure on back of my truck from 5-70mph on a 7' pole mounted in a hitch mount I bought here on Amazon. I've already been on two trips at speeds up to 60mph, and I'm afraid I'll snap the 1 1/2" sch.40 PVC conduit before the Annin flag fails. So far, the fly end has softened up from previously being stiff. Threads are still holding strong. On one side the stripes do not match up perfectly as someone else pointed out here, but that's so the stitch doesn't overlap other stitches. I'll update this review, so far, so good. *UPDATE* Well, my concerns were well founded. The PVC pole I fashioned to attach the Annin flag to snapped today, 10 days into the test. Couldn't have happened in a worse place, and by the time I got turned around (literally almost 8 minutes), someone had picked it up. I searched for about 30 minutes. Torture time: 10 days consisting of ~4 hours at 70+mph, ~4 hours 60-69mph, ~8 hours 50-59mph, ~12 hours 10-49mph. One of my trips was into a 30mph headwind at 70mph, literal hurricane force winds. Yesterday evening, the flag showed minimal wear considering the abuse. 1 of the 4 fly hem threads snapped, the hem itself had negligible fray, and both the top and bottom fly hem corner had thread that had come loose, but the hem and stitches were still intact. No sign of wear on the grommets, just some stretching of the fabric from force of the wind. Honestly I'm super impressed. I'm incredibly disappointed to have lost this extremely well made flag. I'm so impressed in fact that I ordered 3 more Annin Tough-Tex American flags today, as well as a US made comparable competitor with the intention of doing a head-to-head test. I also got an Annin Texas flag, I'll do a separate review on that one. As it stands now, this is the best American made US flag you can buy for the money. Period. *I DO NOT work for, or in any way am associated, affiliated, or contracted by Annin and I WAS NOT compensated for this review*

The quality is great they last a long time. Very well made

Very proud to display this quality flag. The flag arrived early for me to have it before 4 July! It looks great and a very exceptional quality product.

Very well made flag. When I need another flag, I’ll buy this one again! 🫡

Army Veteran here. WOW! This is the BEST flag I've ever bought, and I've been flying 4 x 6' flags on a lighted pole in my yard for 38 years. (In the Midwest, Utah, and the Arizona desert). I've tried at least 15 different kinds, from various makers, and most often buy inexpensive ones (about $20) on Amazon, because I like the larger size and they can get pricey. In the last 8 years, here in Phoenix, mine have to contend with 120° heat, scalding full-sun, monsoon rains, our horrid "haboob" dust storms, and often 40-70mph high winds. I usually need about 4 flags a year because those brands shred at the end seams and fade within 3-4 months. In October of 2024, I decided to try this Annin Tough-Tex polyester flag. It cost me close to $60, but I thought, "What the heck, let's see if it will hold up any better" Well, today it's been flying a few days shy of 10 months. About a month ago I noticed the colors weren't as bright and thought, "I'll need to get a new flag before too long." (I refuse to fly a faded US flag). Two days ago, we had the worst dust storm with monsoon rain in 14 years and I wasn't home to take down my flag. It was so full of desert sand and dust that the white stripes looked tan. I took it down to shake out all the dust and noticed ONE 3" long tear, where the fabric had been worn, near the center of the flag. The center! Not like usually where flags fall apart, out at the ends, or a seam went bad. This has been a fabulous, durable, bright, well made flag for the cost; well worth the investment; and a better buy than the less expensive ones. I'm ordering my new one today! Thank you Annin Flagmakers for truly making a great product you can be proud of.

Great product! Begins fading after about 1 year but no tearing. Will continue to buy annually.

Extremely strong and the only flag to stand up to flying on the bedrail of a truck. I've flown one for 6 months on 25-55 MPH roads and it's barely frayed.

I purchased this flag in Sept. '11 for just under $30. I have flown this flag on a 20' flag pole in East Texas almost everyday since, except for inclement weather. I do try to remove the flag during thunderstorms and rain. For 8 months it has flown and it remains in almost the same new condition as when I received it. There are no threads starting to run, no ends starting to fray, and no obvious colors fading (red, white, or blue). It is a well constructed heavy duty flag that, while it won't last forever (surely), it should outlast the $10-$20 flags that I have purchased in the past by many months. I usually have to replace those less expensive flags every 6-8 months (and the "wear" on those flags are obvious well before then), but not with this one. You can tell it's heavy duty when you first take it out of the box and it looks very nice on the flag pole. It flies well, but does need a somewhat faster breeze to get it to stand out, unlike the previous flags I have had. For me, it is worth the price and I have been very pleased so far with this tough Annin Tough-Tex Woven Polyester flag. Update (9/5/12): It has now been approximately one year since I began flying this flag. Again, it flies everyday except during inclement weather. The flag is still in very good condition. The reds and blues are starting to fade slightly (but it is really only noticeable when you see the flag up close) but still looks great from the ground. I have seen a couple of threads on the bottom corner of the stipes end beginning to fray, but other than that the flag is still holding together very well. It still maintains a "heavy feel" to the material it is made of. The grommets are still in good shape and have not rusted out like other less expensive flags I have had. I would have most likely purchased at least two lower cost flags by now. First time I have knowingly owned an Annin flag and I am very pleased so far. Update (9/17/13): Truly amazing for a flag! I have now flown the flag for two years on the same 20 foot flag pole....day in, day out, except for inclement weather most times. It is still in really good shape. All seams are still holding together well, grommets are still in good shape (no rusting or "wear thru" that is evident), no tearing, shredding, or loose seams in the flag's end that waves in the breeze, and it still has a "heavy feel" to the material of the flag. It has faded a little more, but the reds and blues are still easily distinguishable from the ground (just not as deep in color as last year) and if I weren't critiquing the flag, I wouldn't even mention it. The fraying threads on the bottom corner, I mentioned last year, have NOT worsened and could have been threads cut during manufacturing process. (I'm thinking they should start making airplane black boxes out of this material!) Very, very pleased with this flag! Well worth the money and if you don't fly it everyday (as on holidays only), it will probably easily last you for a lifetime! If Annin doesn't change the way they construct this flag, I will definitely buy another....if I ever need to! (And NO, I have no personal ties to Annin....just know they are an American company that evidently produces an excellent product!) Update (9/16/14): The flag has now flown for three years on the same 20' pole. It is faded, but the reds and blues are still distinguishable from the ground, just not as deep and rich in color as new. The white portions of the flag are still white and have not yellowed. The flag itself is still holding up very well in regards to its seams. There have been no threads or seams that have separated and the end of the flag is not tattered or shredding as so many flags do. It is not as stiff as when it was new, of course, but it still has a heavy feel to the cloth. The grommets are still intact and viable, as I use metal clasps that attach the flag to the rope and would have expected these to have worn through by now. I'm still very pleased with this flag. I would have purchased probably 5-6 of the standard nylon/polyester flags by now, so it has been well worth the money. Thanks Annin for a great American flag to be proud of! 5/1/15- The above flag has now been retired from its pole permanently. It began separating at the seams of the red and white field stripes near the fly end of the flag. The embroidered stars began to unravel also. As of 5/31/15, I began flying another new Annin Tough-Tex flag to replace the old one. There are many companies saying they are selling an Annin Tough-Tex flag, but be careful......unless they say Annin on the hoist end of the flag, it is NOT an Annin!

Pelo preço achei o material bem ruim, apesar de ter costuras de alto padrão e reforçadas.

what I expected! Best quality

Looks and feels tough and durable

Gran calidad en materiales y acabado. Sin duda cumple y supera la expectativa. Luce increible!
