SOMERSET COUNTY FLAG

Traditionally sewn and applique embroidered MoD approved

Available in various sizes and fixtures

Somerset county flag made using British Ministry of Defence approved fabric UK/SC/4767. Manufactured in UK by one of the oldest local factories, 155 g/sqm MOD approved woven flag material is by far the most durable flag fabric on the market. Apart from its outstanding durability, MoD approved woven fabric has a pleasant natural feel and non-shiny wool like appearance. The MoD approved flag fabric is treated for UV resistance and would fade much slower than natural fibres or non UV treated artificial flag fabrics. Flag panel is sewn around using UK 'COATS' manufactured bonded nylon thread. The latter has superior abrasion resistance compared to generic cotton or core spun threads.

The red dragon rampant of Somerset is applique hand embroidered using separate pre-cut fabric panels on both sides. 

The fly and outer corners are additionally reinforced using multiple seams to keep the flag longer from premature fraying.

It is hard giving exact estimate on how long the fully sewn MoD approved Somerset flag should last. The general rule however is the properly sewn flag should outlast the inherent colour fading appearing due to natural UV radiation and air pollution. Please note a flag left flying in heavy storm for a longer time would obviously last less than expected.

Please choose to add yellow anti-fray netting which can prolong flag's life expectancy in windy environments.

Upon spotting first signs of premature fraying we recommend shipping the flag back to us for free repair works.

Please allow up to 1 week for the flag to be actually dispatched as these are made on demand basis once the order is placed on ebay.
