SWAG FLAGS!!!!! Opinions before I order in bulk

Send it to me and I'll put the grommets on the other side.
 
Yeah the price goes up so much when they are double sided. Plus to get them cheap you have to order a large quantity. Rip the stitches out of the nylon end and sew it to the other side!!:)
 
I figured I could get a sporting goods shop, flag shop, or canvass shop to reverse the grommets and I figured that could be done pretty easy. I don't think my wife's sewing machine is heavy enough to sew through the end. But I figure someone can do it pretty easy and pretty quick. @Murf'n'surf , do you have the setup to whip this out? That is all that needs to be done is to move the end. I don't know the correct terms for the flashing of material on either end, but I figure it has a term...just need to move the end. And...if we do another run of flags, I will take the blue ones next! They are very nice flags, the boat is just screaming for two of them...both facing out!
 
Hmmm.... I didn't think about the sewing on the edge. I have grommets and the punch needed to install them but not a sewing machine.
 
I can't tell if the end of the flag under the facing end with the grommets has a hem like the other three sides or not, if it does, this should be simple to do if my wife's sewing machine can sew through that canvas facing that holds the grommets.

Still haven't ordered the flag attaching clips. I will need the ones to clip them to the bimini pole that supports the bimini as an upright . The bimini support pole is 3/4" diameter, so they Charlevoix Nylon Flag Clips will work for that. I didn't measure the stern light diameter, but suspect it is the same and could be mounted there if you so desire. They make this clip style in 1/2" diameter to fit an antenna too.

RANT...And I am feeling the pain from ordering 50 different items with a shipping charge. Amazing that you see these stupid little clips as low as $5.75 each, with $9.99 shipping, or $9.99 each with free shipping. I need two so it is $20 no matter how you slice it...END RANT. I feel so ashamed...:sorry:
 
Flag flying proud...

Only 1 or 2 white ones.
 
@andy07sx230ho that works for me. I will bring the white one with me on the Bimini trip.

@96Pirate Yes, there has been some discussion on putting together another order. I have to order 100 flags to keep the price cheap. I am just waiting to see how much interest there is and also how well the flags I have sold hold up.

@tim2808 thanks that will work perfectly for me. I can either PayPal you the money now or give you cash at the captains meeting.
 
@tim2808 is there still any of the white flags available?
 
No. The ones that I still have in my possession have already been spoken for. However if I still have them in a few weeks without payment I'll let you know

Tim you can sell @BravoMike the one I spoke for, I will get another one on the next go around.
 
Thanks @andy07sx230ho. I don't mind waiting for the next order. Either way is good with me.
