How many of us have gone to purchase an American flag, or any patriotic item for that matter, and noticed that the label stated, “Made In China?! I mean REALLY, the irony! In honor of Flag Day, and in preparation for Fourth of July celebrations, today we share a list of made in USA American flags and flag accessories.
Made in USA American Flags & Flag Accessories
This list of made in USA American flags includes sources for all of your flag needs. We found American flags to hang outdoors and to display indoors. We discovered made in USA hand held flags for parades and ceremonies, and flag grave markers. If you are looking for American flag bunting made in USA, and other decorative flag products, we found sources for them too.
Some of the American flag companies on our list are flag manufacturers and some are flag retailers. Many of the flag companies on this list are Flag Manufacturers Association of American (FMAA) certified. Only the FMAA “Certified Made in the U.S.A.” certification seal assures consumers that their flag was made in the U.S.A. with domestic resources and labor and that the manufacturing process is continually monitored by a professional association and its domestic members.
American Flag Material: Which is Best?
While you are perusing this list looking for the perfect American flag for your home, you will notice that American flags are manufactured with a variety of materials. How do you know which material to choose? Her are some tips.
Outdoor American flags are usually made of one of three fabric types; cotton, nylon, and polyester.
- Cotton: Most cotton American flags are made with a poly blend. Cotton flags are recommend for seasonal use.
- Nylon: Nylon American flags are suitable for year round display. Nylon flags usually are bright in color and are fade resistant. Nylon dries quickly. Most outdoor nylon flags are all weather flags.
- Polyester: Most Polyester flags are manufactured double duty and these are the flags for areas that receive high winds and harsh weather conditions.
American Flag Etiquette
We should always be respectfully displaying and handling the US flag, and practicing proper American flag etiquette. If you want to learn more about the U.S. Flag Code, and notice violations everywhere (like me), you can visit our article, Rules for Displaying the American Flag- Are You Doing it Right?
What To Do With a Damaged American Flag
Since you are in the market for a new American flag, you might be wondering how to properly dispose of your old one. An American flag that is ruined beyond repair is to be destroyed in an honorable way, preferably by burning. It is NOT recommended to burn the flag in your own fire pit as dangerous chemicals can be emitted from burning flags. A better option is to contact your local American Legion, Boy Scout Troop or Girl Scout Troop who will gladly take your flag for proper disposal.
Save and share our list of made in USA American flags so that when you are purchasing a new flag or patriotic banner, you can find them with confidence.

I use tons of smaller flags to line the front garden for Flag Day, Memorial Day, July 4th and today (Labor Day).
I did not know to contact a local American Legion when disposing of an old tattered flag. Thank you!!
Of all the products to buy American Made, but an American Made American flag!
It amazes me that so many USA flags are made in China. It is truly sad. Thanks for bringing my attention to this. Going to go see where my flag was made.
Wonderful info for all of us. I would only definitely purchase an American Made Flag.
boy oh boy, I never thought about that, but it is so true. It would be a nice gift to give someone a flag made in the USA. It is wonderful to have a list of companies, it makes it easy to find them! Thank you!
Thanks for posting this. We are an Annin, Flag Source and Valley Forge dealer for the past 40-years we also make custom flags in house which of course are made in USA as they are made right here in our Little Rock, Arkansas sewing department. You can’t beat Annin’s quality on flags but remember if you see it at Walmart, you aren’t getting Annin’s best quality flags. Those are the lowest quality they make. If you want higher quality with a warranty you have to buy from a flag dealer like ourselves. We have an additional warranty people can purchase to cover their flag for an entire year of daily use. No other flag company does that.
I have a bunch of smaller flags that I use to line the front garden for Flag Day, Memorial Day, July 4th — pretty much any excuse. I even put them out in the snow during the Olympics!
Irony? I think it’s nearly disgusting! Not just flags, so much more. But just as, no I think more important, is the info you have shared on how to display, care for, etc. our Flag. Honor it!
This post is indeed so inspiring. Every American should always have one to honor and be proud of. I think these American flags should never be from any country no matter how cheap or how beautiful it is. What is important is that these flags should be from America and not from somewhere else.
Really nice
Yes. I totally agree with you. Buy and fly an American flag that is made in America. It is the true spirit of a patriot to do so.

I didn’t realize Flag Day was coming up so quickly. The summer is already just flying by! Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Thanks so much for also including American Made flag poles! I know it sounds silly, but it’s really frustrating when you’re at a big box store and you see that the label says, “flag made in USA, other pieces imported.” So the flag is made here, but the piece that holds it up is from somewhere else!
