I have been wanting a POW-MIA flag for some time to fly on specific occasions like Veterans Day and Memorial Day. So, when I saw this embroidered version, I had to order it.
The flag is constructed from a very thick and durable nylon material. I get the impression that this will last a very long time, as long as it is not broken down by our harsh Colorado sun. It is listed as UV resistant, so I assume that means it’s coated. It will certainly also help that I will only be flying it occasionally.
Another advantage to the material used is that it seems to be entirely opaque. It does not allow any light to shine through at all.
The pole side of the flag has a reinforced border, which is double stitched. The grommets seem to be solidly crimped and also look pretty strong. The stitching is pretty good throughout the flag. The seams are straight, but there are a few little “tails“ of loose thread here and there. That being said, they are not concerning as far as unraveling.
I was not sure what to expect with the embroidery coverage, but their method makes sense. Most of the central design is made from white nylon of the same type used for the black. This is all outlined with the embroidery. Some of the design is also filled in with embroidery as well, such as the laurels, words, and guard tower.
The best part is that the flag is FMAA certified, “Made in the USA”!
All in all, this flag is very high quality and I will be proud to fly it.
