The United States Flag Store — Proud Supplier of American Patriotism

WHERE WE STARTED

In 2001, amidst the echoes of tragedy, the American Flag sold out across the nation. During this time of stunning uncertainty, one man embarked on a mission to honor the spirit of our nation by sourcing the symbol that stands testament to the indomitable spirit of the American people.

From the humble confines of his garage, he stitched together dreams, hopes, and the essence of liberty: supplying his neighbors with American Flags. This mission quickly outgrew his home and led him to establish an online flag store; The first of its kind.

WHERE WE STAND

Today, the original United States Flag Store is located just 50 miles from the Flight 93 National Memorial-- a constant reminder of our roots-- where skilled American artisans sew and assemble thousands of stick flags every day and our warehouse stocks the highest inventory of American Flags and related accessories nationwide to meet the needs of every American.

What truly sets the United States Flag Store apart is our dedication to ensuring that every American can access, afford and proudly display the American Flag.

WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG

To us, the American Flag is more than a piece of fabric; it represents the ideals that our forefathers fought for, the values that continue to unite us as a nation, and the promise of what America will be for our children for generations to come. We strive to inspire patriotism, remind every American of the sacrifices made to secure our freedom and that, despite our differences, we are bound by a common love for this great land.

Whether you display our flags at your home, business, memorials or proudly wave them during parades and events, you are making a statement. You are standing up for the principles that have made this country what it is today. Together, let us raise our flags high with undying love for the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

What We Do: American Flags, Flags, and Flagpoles

The United States Flag Store is your one-stop, premier shop for all things flag and flag-related items.

With a name like The United States Flag Store, it should come as no surprise that what we do best and one of our most popular items is our United States Flags. Coming in a variety of different sizes our smallest being handheld stick flags that measure 4 inches by 6 inches. These are great to hand out at parties, parades, and political events. Up to some of our biggest flags measuring 20ft by 30ft, made to tower over any business or industrial plot and wave large, in charge, and proud. We also carry everything in between these two juxtaposing sizes with banner flags at 4ft by 6ft, which look great waving from larger buildings and apartment complexes to the classic 3ft by 5ft flag made to look right at home waving majestically in front of yours. 

Our American flags come from all over the world, whether in-house from our warehouse in Pennsylvania or from abroad. We do this so you can get exactly what you are looking for. If it's the price you are after, you will find a number of imported and economic flags and flagpoles that will fit the bill just right, coming in under budget and leaving your wallet intact. And if you want to purchase an American flag, flagpole, or any other flag-related item made in the United States, we have got plenty of those too. We try to be as transparent as we can by letting you know where a particular product happens to come from. For all of our items that are made in the U.S.A., we have put a little badge on the upper left corner of the main product picture. This information can also typically be found in the product description and if you need to investigate this further, the country of origin can usually be found under the "Additional Information," tab on the product page as well. And of course, if you happen to have a question about where a certain product comes from, don't be afraid to ask!  

But just remember, no matter where an American flag may come from, it still stands for what it stands for and is still our Old Glory.

American-Made US Flags

To find our American-made flags, it's as simple as following the link to our Made in the USA category. Here you are going to find just a taste of what we have to offer. This is going to include 100% American Made, United States Flags, Pleated Fans, and Stick Flags. These items can also be found and searched for in their own individual categories too.

What Brands We Carry

The brands we offer here at the United States Flag Store include some of the most significant and recognizable names in the industry.

The first we are going to talk about is Annin Flagmakers. They are an American-based company and one of the oldest and wide-reaching manufacturers of American flags in the world. They have been making the Star-Spangled Banner since 1847. Annin has seen their American flags participate in some of the most notable events in history including:

• Abraham Lincoln's formal admission to office
• Apollo 11's 1969 mission to the moon
• The grand opening of the Brooklyn Bridge

Annin also had their hand in the initial inception and design of the POW/ MIA flag,

The next brand that we love to promote is Valley Forge. This is another American-based brand and they have been around since 1882. They offer top-tier products at accessible prices and have provided most of the United States flags used by the United States military starting around World War II and continuing to do so up until the present day. They have seen their flags throughout history as well, most notably in and for the Armed Forces. A Valley Forge flag was present:

• Storming the beaches of Normandy and throughout the European Campaign during World War II
• With the Pacific Fleet that turned the tide of the Second World War
• At the funerals of past American Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and John F. Kennedy

And finally, we carry our very own brand, Super Tough. These products earn their stars and stripes for being some of the toughest flags on the market. And are comparable to both Annin and Valley Forge in their quality and durability. With a wide selection of flags, flagpoles, decorative flags, and flag accessories, Super Tough has you covered at an ambitious price. 

Flag Fabrics and their Attributes

So, you have decided you want a flag, maybe you know what kind of flag and the brand you want to support, but have you considered what kind of fabric your new flag should be made of? Well, you're in luck because I'm here to break down the different fabrics available, their attributes, their qualities, and in which scenarios they will work best. With that out of the way, let's take a look.

• Nylon Flags- This is one of the most popular types of flags we carry and is used primarily as an outdoor flag. They are lightweight, vivid in color, and fly wonderfully with little wind. Nylon flags are affordable, durable, and a great choice all around.
• Polyester and Printed Polyester Flags- These are going to be our most economical choice on the list and are used mostly as indoor flags, although they can be used outdoors as well. Polyester and printed polyester offer an attractive, simple solution at a low price.
• Super Knit Polyester- Another low-cost option, Super Knit Polyester walks the line between standard polyester and nylon. It makes for a superb outdoor flag that can also double as an excellent indoor flag.
• Sewn Polyester- The heaviest and most expensive flag type we carry, Sewn Polyester flags are designed to fly in high wind areas. These are going to be the most durable and longest-lasting of the bunch. Sewn polyester flags are an excellent choice if you plan on flying your flag 24/7 or live in a windy area. It should be noted though, that with it being a heavier flag, it will require more wind to see this flag properly "fly." 

Specialty Flags

While it goes without saying that we carry United States flags, we also have a vast selection of specialty flags. This includes State and United States Territory Flags, Flags from around the World, Military and Public Service Flags, POW/ MIA Flags, Police and Firefighter Flags as well as Historical and Decorative Flags.
