Do not expose flag to continuous harsh weather; take it down during night and upon spotting first signs of tear and wear, send the flag back to us for a free repair works (P&P charges are paid by customer). We recommend hand washing the flag in warm soapy water and leaving it to dry by itself. Finally, natural linen fabric simply loves to be steam ironed in medium to high temperature. Due to natural flax strength, linen fabric was most frequently used for medieval and early modern British Ensigns on sloops and boats. Since natural fabric tends to absorb more colour pigment when dyed than synthetic materials, our sewn linen cloth flags are more resistant to fading. And can be safely used on modern yachts and ships as a lively reminder of the romanticized Age of Sails.
