What is the flag made from?
This edition is crafted from real decommissioned 5" supply line fire hose, arranged in the Texas Lone Star design. It's a tribute to Texas pride and firefighter service in one piece - the same hose that fought fires now flies the Lone Star flag over a heavy 30oz cotton canvas backing.
What are the dimensions?
The flag measures 24 inches by 42 inches - a bold statement size that anchors a wall in a den, office, garage, or firehouse.
How do I mount it?
Four heavy-duty brass grommets are set into the corners (the larger versions add a center grommet too) so you can hang it flat against a wall with nails, screws, or hooks. The grommets are built to handle the weight of the hose and backing without tearing.
Will my flag have unique markings on it?
Yes - every flag is unique. Because the hose came off real fire scenes, each one carries its own water stains, scuffs, scorch marks, and stenciling. The Lone Star layout stays consistent, but the texture, fading, and character of the hose around it is one-of-a-kind to your flag.
Which American Flag is right for me?
Picking the right flag depends on the look and story you want. Here are all the editions in the family:
- Classic Fire Hose - $249, 24x42, coyote border

How is it constructed for durability?
A 30oz cotton canvas backing keeps the flag flat and structured. The edges are bound in 1" MilSpec coyote binding - the same heavy webbing used on tactical gear - to lock the hose in place and prevent fraying. Built to handle a garage, workshop, covered patio, or any Texan's wall.
