The design is a combination of fabric appliqués and exquisitely detailed embroidery. Design is on both front and back of this 300 denier polyester double thickness flag. These flags are heavier than most others on the market and will hold up longer. Double applique flag fabrics are either satin-smooth or a burlap texture; sometimes a combination of both. Flag will retain its color and beauty for years if displayed in shade or semi-shade, and is rainproof.
