I have 250 of their PRINTED 3'x5' American flags.

And I understand from Jim Ferrigan that CF Co. once stood for Chicago Flag Company. Now I belive they operate out of Alabama so they had to loose the Chicago moniker.

Re: Flag Stars & Material
As I recall though , Robin you store all the flags for your town. That's a bit different than those of us only buying for a single household. I am flying my main flag From a traditional wall mount bracket next to the front door (to the left of front door when viewed from street. Since any of my guests stand next to my flag as they wait at my door, I want them to see a quality flag in great condition.

I tried that. I thought by soaking the flag in tepid water that it would "wash out" the siffness but no love.

Re: Flag Stars & Material
My goodness me, how this thread has progressed since I last read it! i ONLY WISH i HADN'T BEEN BUSY OVER THE LAST WEEK OR i WOULD HAVE BUTTED IN SOONER ON THIS ONE!
LMFAO at FLAG SNOBBERY!!!
I am not a flag snobberist - much anyway! Since I have enjoyed collecting US flags from all sorts of companies to try and get a good idea of the variations, in materials, construction, star size, and spacing etc
I must admit I prefer a sewn flag to a printed one, but I see the point about the stars shining up in the sun.. I have a couple of flags with printed stars, and sewn stripes, and they are printed NYLON.
The ones I dislike most are those printed polyester ones.. often the colors are all wrong and they just fade... But I still have a few of them in my collection!
I have a couple of old Annin Reliance cotton flags in my collection -both with 50 stars - printed stars and sewn stripes - the cotton is much thinner than what is used on the modern counterparts, and very soft
