How To Tell If the Patriarch® Polyester U.S. Flag is Right for You
Thousands of customers across the country rely on Patriarch® Polyester flags. Here's what makes them different—and when they work best.
Built for wind
If you're on the coast, in the mountains, on open plains, or anywhere the wind picks up, this is your flag. Woven from two-ply polyester and treated to resist U.V. damage, it holds its shape in conditions that tear other flags apart. Polyester weighs more than nylon, which means it takes more wind to fly, but it also means it lasts longer when the weather turns rough.
Made from quality materials
Every Patriarch® U.S. Flag starts with a strong canvas header and solid brass grommets. The two-ply polyester looks like traditional cotton but is built for outdoor weather. Lock stitching runs through every seam, and the fly ends are reinforced: four stitches on flags 3'×5' through 6'×10', six stitches on 8'×12' through 20’ x 38’, and eight stitches on our largest sizes. This is what keeps the flag together when wind tries to pull it apart.
Sixteen flag sizes, one standard
We make Patriarch® flags in sixteen sizes: from 3'×5' for a 20' pole to 50'×80' for large installations. Popular choices for residential and commercial poles include 4'×6' and 5'×8'. Every size is made in the U.S.A.
Most sizes are in stock and ship the same day if you order before 3pm EST. Made-to-order sizes ship within a few weeks. Select your size above to see availability.
U.S. Flags Last for Six Months, Guaranteed
If your Patriarch® flag tears, fades, or frays within six months, we'll send you a replacement. That's how confident we are in our flags.
If The Wind's Lighter Where You Are
Patriarch® Polyester works best in high-wind areas. For places with mild to moderate wind, our Beacon® Nylon U.S. Flags are a better fit. They're lighter, fly in gentle breezes, dry faster, and cost less. See our to compare.
Flags and Flag Accessories You Might Need
A few things work well with your Patriarch® Polyester U.S. Flag:
Halyard and snap hooks
Your flag attaches to the pole with halyard (rope) and snap hooks. When you replace your flag, check the halyard. If it looks frayed or worn, replace it. Our has what you need.
Light for nighttime display
If you're flying your flag at night, you'll need to light it. Our most popular option is a that mounts on top of the pole and illuminates the flag from above.
Heavy-duty flagpoles
In high-wwind areas, pair your Patriarch® flag with a commercial-grade pole. Our are built to handle winds up to 144–287 mph (unflagged), so your display stays standing even in extreme weather.
State and military flags
Flying a state or military flag alongside the American flag honors your state's history or shows support for those who serve. We carry flags for all 50 states, 5 territories, and the POW/MIA flag.
If you're flying two flags on one pole, the American flag should be larger and positioned on top, with the state or military flag below it.

1. What size flag do I need for my pole?
The flag's length should be ¼ to ⅓ the height of your pole. This keeps the flag from touching the ground when lowered to half-staff. Use this guide:
| Flag Size | Pole Height |
| 3'×5' | 15' to 20' |
| 4'×6' | 25' |
| 5'×8' | 30' to 35' |
| 5'×9.5' | 45' |
| 8'×12' | 50' |
| 10'×15' | 60' |
| 10'×19' | 60' |
| 12'×18' | 70' |
| 15'×25' | 70' |
| 20'×30' | 80' |
| 20'×38' | 80' |
| 25'×40' | 100' |
| 30'×50' | 100' to 120' |
| 30'×60' | 130' to 150' |
| 50'×80' | 150'+ |
2. Why polyester for high-wind areas?
Polyester resists fading, tearing, and fraying better than nylon or cotton. It's heavier, which means it needs more wind to fly, but that weight also helps it last longer in harsh conditions. If you're in a low-wind area, nylon is a better choice.
3. Can I fly my Patriarch® Polyester U.S. Flag year-round?
Yes. Patriarch® Polyester flags are made for year-round outdoor use in rain, wind, snow, and sun.
4. Can I fly polyester U.S.A. flags in the rain?
Yes, in light rain. Take it down during severe weather, including tornadoes, hurricanes, or other extreme storms. Even a durable flag won't survive conditions like that.
5. How do I clean my polyester U.S. flag?
Wash your flag gently in cold water with a mild soap, either by hand or in the washing machine. Make sure it’s completely dry before you fold it and put it away — a damp flag can cause the colors to bleed or grow mold.
6. How long will my polyester U.S. flag last?
It depends on your weather, sun exposure, and how often you fly it. We guarantee six months, but many customers report their flags lasting much longer with regular use.
7. Can I use a polyester U.S. flag at my home?
Yes, on an in-ground residential or commercial flagpole. Don't use outrigger flagpoles. Polyester flags get heavy when wet and can cause those poles to break.
