These new outdoor flags, called Millennium 2000 by the manufacturer, are now made of a material and dye so powerful that every US flag is guaranteed to retain its brilliant colors for one full year from date of purchase - whether the flag is flown in Mississippi, Colorado, or Alaska! Finished with strong canvas headings and large brass grommets, this is the only guaranteed color-fast US flag available. Made in U.S.A.
How long will a flag last?
The U.S. government generally expects a nylon or cotton bunting flag to last approximately 90 days, based on daily usage from sunrise to sunset - but not during periods of inclement weather. Tests have shown that in some cases a flag flown 24 hours a day will last only one-fourth as long as one flown during the daylight hours only. Regardless of how well it is constructed, a flag is, after all, only a piece of cloth and will sooner or later succumb to the elements. However, it has been well documented that reasonably good care can contribute greatly to longer life.
