 Made in USA flag, Made in China Bracket Jul 25, 2010
I originally started to order a different American flag on Amazon and noticed that was made in China. It seems that this most basic bit of Americana should be purchased from a company that actually makes them here in the USA.
The flag itself seems well made. The Stars are sewn rather than screened. I like the spinning type of pole. that prevents the flag from wrapping itself up. I want to see "Old Glory" unfurled and flowing in the wind not wrapped up around a pole. This style pole works perfectly.
Cons
What I'm not crazy about is the quality of the pole was not very good. It had lots of small knot holes and was not straight. Also, the top of the pole is plastic colored to look like "wood." It is not a very good match.
The bracket that the flag came with is not the one pictured. (see my pictures in customer photos) It is not adjustable and is made in China.
I ended up purchasing Valley Forge 1-Inch Nickel Flag Bracket and I'm very happy with the quality and the look of this flag bracket. I feel it is reasonably priced for the quality. It is also good looking and a perfect fit for this flag kit.
I fly the flag every morning and take it down every night. So far the things that originally bothered me are not really a problem.
Please contact your local Boy Scout Troop for proper retirement of old, faded or tattered flags.
 Terrific US Flag Jun 15, 2010
Sent as a gift, arrived way earlier than advertised. Love it. Looks great on my sisters house.
lightweight Apr 05, 2010
The nylon is lighter weight than cotton and blows easier. Don't know how long lasting this flag will be yet.

Very Pleased Jun 27, 2009
I am very pleased with the shipping service....free....I wasn't sure I would have it by July 4th. But, it came in plenty of time. The quality seems fine. I'll know more after it is flying for a month or so. There are only 2 positions for flag pole to fit into, not as stated. The embroidered stars are very nice. Almost gives a 3D effect.

 Nice American Flag on Crooked Chinese Pole Jun 13, 2009
The flag is sewn nicely, but of thinner nylon than expected. The tag is not a big problem as some reviewers complain. Just pull the tag off, it's paper and sewn into a seam. The pole is really sad, it's two piece and the pieces dont fit together very well. Valley Forge should be embarrassed by the pole and bracket, which were made in China. I suggest buying the flag individually (see other Valley Forge products link by item title) and getting a decent pole.
