For the best durability in windy areas we recommend these Valley Forge Brand California 2-ply printed polyester flags. These "SpectraPro" flags are MADE IN THE USA. They are made of 2 ply polyester known in the industry as Poly-wavez or Spectra Pro material and is considered the most durable flag fabric available. They feature a strong white, nylon header and two real brass grommets. These durable 2 ply polyester flags are made to last much longer than nylon flags so they cost less to fly over time. These flags are very popular with our State Government agencies and institutions due to thier long wearing characteristics.

Design: The flag was designed by William Todd on a piece of new unbleached cotton. The star imitated the lone star of Texas. A grizzly bear represented the many bears seen in the state. The word, "California Republic" was placed beneath the star and bear. It was adopted by the 1911 State Legislature as the State Flag. [Source: California Blue Book.]
