It is constructed from perma-print dyed nylon with a reinforced nylon heading, and features individually sewn stripes with embroidered stars for a durable, all-weather appearance rather than a simple printed graphic. The flag is finished with a four needle flyend and brass grommets for easy hanging and secure mounting on a boat staff or flagpole. Made in the USA, the nylon and polyester construction is lightweight yet fade resistant, holding up to sun and marine exposure over repeated use. Because it displays the US Power Squadron ensign design, this flag is intended for use by members of the organization rather than as a general-purpose boat flag. Care is simple: hand wash only to preserve the sewn stripes, embroidered stars, and colorfastness of the nylon fabric. At 12 inches by 18 inches, it suits smaller boats and staffs where a compact ensign is appropriate; larger sizes of the same design are offered as separate part numbers for bigger vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e US Power Squadron Ensign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches x 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon, Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perma-print dyed nylon with reinforced nylon heading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStripe and Star Detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individually sewn stripes and embroidered stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlyend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four needle flyend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass grommets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fade resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e For use by members only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011952189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal;
