I had to return the first one I got because I ordered one that was way too big, the customer service at this firm was great. They sent me a new one and a check for the difference of the cost.The Flag is beautiful, and the workmanship is well done.

I purchased a cotton USA 3x5 flag 4/25/2009 for $22.89, from The Flag Center,an American company in New Bern NC. Advertised as providing A ONE YEAR COLOR-FAST GUARANTEE(their capitals in their advertising)100% heavy-duty outdoor,all weather cotton flag. The flag was beautiful, but unfortunately after being flown from April until October it was "faded" and looked terrible. I discussed this on the phone with Mr Rust, but was told that fading and color-fastness are two different things. Fading of course is not covered by the guarantee. Obviously this was used as an excuse for not replacing the flag. If you purchased a flag with a color-fast guarantee wouldn't you expect it to retain its color for longer than 6 months? It's unfortunate an American company, that you've intentionally supported, does not stand by it's own advertising. I will not fly this "faded" flag as it is an insult to the USA. I will give it a proper burial at my local VFW. Shame on you The Flag Center and A. Thompson Flags and Banners. Unfortunately I left a positive feedback when I had first received the flag.

I got this because I live in a high wind area and I was under the impression it would be suitable for that. The stitching seems to be holding better that most flags, but the 2nd day it started to pull away from the brass holes where the material is. I don't know exactly what to do about this. It is holding for the moment. It seems the brass is not crimped tightly enough to the material and has stretched so the holes in the material are now too large to be re-crimped. Nice flag though.

The flag was just what I ordered, and arrived in perfect shape. It just took some time to arrive, probably about two weeks - which is within the time Amazon promises delivery, but then again they grant themselves an eternity to get stuff to your door.
Overall, everything was just fine. Perhaps just curl up with a good book and enjoy the Amazon wait.

To start with, I have a 25 foot flag pole at my company and we have the crazy East Tennessee weather to deal with. Before, I always bought my flags from Congressman Duncan's office and proudly flew the flags flown over Congress. I decided a couple of years ago to try a commercially bought flag. I found that the flag has kept its color after six months and even though we have had a lot of high wind storms during the period, the flag has stood up to it. I have flood lights on it at night and do not take it down. I have commanded Color Guards and Rifle salutes and know a lot about our National Flag. These flags are closer to being regular than other commercially bought flags. When I do decide to fold it and bring it in, the edges match up better than most. If you have ever done a flag folding ceremony, then you know what it means to cheat up on the edges because they are not even. I can always get this flag to come out to the 1,3,5 star pattern when I fold it and never have to refold. I liked it so well that I bought two the last time. The 4' x 6' version last one year before replacing it.

This flag is beautiful we have strong winds here but
it seems to be holding very well so far haven't had
it for long but it is a nice heavy duty flag
I LOVE it

We have a pole in our front yard and this flag is beautiful. We have it lit so it is out all the time and it is in good shape so far. The connectors are high quality to join it to the rope. Overall I am very pleased with this flag over all the other lower quality ones I had in the past.

Thanks to all those that serve for our country.

I bought the 2010 Olympic Collectible Red Mittens from The Flag Center. The seller provided great service and I received the item on time and in excellent condition. I would definitely buy other products from them.
