Premium Materials for Durability
Choose from a selection of high-quality materials designed to withstand the elements and maintain vibrant colors:
Nylon: Our durable nylon flags are made from Heavy-Duty Commercial Grade Dupont Solarmax material. With embroidered stars (appliqued above 8’ x 12’) and sewn stripes, these flags are perfect for outdoor display. The lightweight 200-denier fabric allows for easy flying in light breezes, and the durable lock stitching ensures a longer lifespan than printed or chain-stitched flags. Typical lifespan: 8-10 months before tattering and fading.
Extra Tough: Ideal for high-wind areas, our Extra Tough flags are made from 2-ply 100% polyester bunting. The open weave reduces wind resistance and increases longevity. Each batch is rigorously tested for resistance to bleeding, fraying, and tearing. While they resemble cotton flags, they offer superior durability. Average lifespan: 10-12 months; we recommend taking them down in severe weather conditions.
Ultra Tough: Featuring the same 2-ply polyester as our Extra Tough flags, the Ultra Tough variant includes a reinforced fly end for maximum durability. Vertical zig-zag stitching and reinforced box stitching prevent fraying. Requires a wind speed of 12 mph to fully furl the flag. All flags under 10’ x 15’ have embroidered stars, while larger flags feature appliqued stars.
Cotton: Made from 2-ply cotton bunting, these flags offer rich, vibrant colors and are ideal for decorative indoor use or special occasions. Not recommended for extended outdoor display due to weather sensitivity. All cotton flags feature sewn stripes and embroidered stars, with a canvas header and brass grommets.
RePatriot (Recycled Material): Made from yarn created from recycled PET bottles, our RePatriot flags maintain a similar look and feel to 200-denier nylon but offer superior color retention and strength. These eco-friendly flags last longer than traditional nylon, with an average lifespan surpassing that of standard commercial nylon. Each flag is crafted from multiple recycled bottles: 15 bottles for a 3x5 flag, 18 bottles for a 4x6 flag, 24 bottles for a 5x8 flag, and 36 bottles for a 6x10 flag.
The History of the Texas Flag
In the early 1830s, federalists in Mexico and Texas became increasingly frustrated with the growing centralist Mexican government. Tensions reached a boiling point in October 1835 during the conflict in Gonzales. The Mexican government had provided a small cannon to Gonzales residents for protection against Native American attacks. However, after a Mexican soldier injured a local resident, authorities decided to reclaim the cannon. A small troop was sent to retrieve it but faced resistance from the settlers.
As negotiations stalled, about 140 Texians launched a surprise attack on the Mexican detachment led by Lieutenant Francisco de Castañeda. After a brief skirmish, Castañeda sought to negotiate with John Henry Moore, during which the Texians raised their homemade flag. Realizing he was outnumbered and outgunned, Castañeda withdrew his forces. Following this encounter, Stephen F. Austin was unanimously elected as the leader of the Texian Volunteers, known as the Army of the People.
On October 6, Texians in Matagorda marched on Presidio La Bahía in Goliad. Four days later, they stormed the presidio in a battle that lasted just half an hour. By November 3, the Texian army had taken control of the Gulf Coast, limiting Mexican communication and supply lines. While Texians secured the Gulf Coast, Austin moved toward Béxar to confront General Cos and his troops. Mexican forces erected barricades throughout the town, but the Texian army initiated the Siege of Béxar. After capturing Béxar, Bowie and Fannin's advance party camped at Mission Concepción, prompting Mexican troops to engage them. Despite their efforts, the Mexican cavalry struggled against the Texians due to inadequate weaponry and difficult terrain. After three failed attacks, Ugartechea retreated. By mid-December, General Cos withdrew his troops to a mission outside of Béxar and eventually surrendered to the Texian army, agreeing to leave Texas.
On February 17, 1836, Santa Anna’s forces entered Texas, advancing towards Béxar. Despite harsh conditions, the Mexican troops continued their march, facing illness and death. As they advanced, they ransacked and occasionally burned abandoned homes, as many settlers had evacuated northward. Santa Anna’s network of Tejano spies provided critical information about the Texians’ positions and plans.
