What is the flag made from?
This edition is crafted from real decommissioned 5" supply line fire hose - the same hose that once fought structure fires and saved lives. The vintage version is finished to look weathered and aged, like a flag that's been hanging in a station for forty years. Backed with a heavy 30oz cotton canvas.
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 - and the vintage edition leans into it. Because each hose came off a real fire scene, every flag carries its own water stains, scuffs, scorch marks, and faded stenciling. The aged finish enhances those natural imperfections so the flag looks honestly worn, not factory-fresh.
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:

How is it constructed for durability?
A 30oz cotton canvas backing gives the flag structure and keeps it flat against the wall. The edges are wrapped in 1" MilSpec coyote binding - the same heavy webbing used on tactical gear - to lock in the hose and prevent fraying. The vintage finish is part of the build, not surface wear, so it won't flake or peel.
