Annin Flagmakers is the oldest and largest American flag manufacturer in the United States, sewing flags since 1847. Every flag is cut, sewn, and finished at Annin’s plants in Roseland, New Jersey and South Boston, Virginia, using American-made fabric and fittings. The company has supplied flags to every presidential administration since Zachary Taylor and draped the coffins of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Tough-Tex is Annin’s heaviest-duty outdoor flag, built from a dense 2-ply polyester for high-wind locations where a standard nylon flag would fray in a season. Sewn stripes and embroidered stars give the flag weight and standoff dimension, and the reinforced header with brass grommets handles hard flapping at the top of a pole. Sized 3 feet by 5 feet for residential and commercial flagpoles.
Annin Flagmakers was founded in 1847 in New York City and is now run by the sixth generation of the Annin family, with primary flag production in South Boston, Virginia and Roseland, New Jersey. Annin is FMAA-certified, which guarantees every thread, fabric, grommet, and header is produced or manufactured in the United States. The company supplies flags for government installations, military bases, schools, and homes across the country.
