Manufactured by us to produce optimum flying weights from top quality materials, our knitted polyester option is a fantastic combination of fly-ability and durability. We expect our durable outdoor quality printed flags to last as well as sewn flags whilst flying much better at lower wind speeds. In our view, heavier sewn flags appear to last longer only because they spend less time flying in light wind. If another flag maker claims that sewn flags last longer than MrFlag durable outdoor quality printed flags for the same number of visible flying hours, challenge them to provide the test data! Bold vivid colours on both sides of the flag. Our colours are bright and vivid. We start with vibrant RGB art and lay down our own 8 colour bi-directional print onto the fabric, forcing far more ink through the weave than many of our competitors. Poor show-though on flags is almost always the result of cutting corners with ink volumes or value-adding processes. Choosing the Antifray option results in a piece of white netting being sewn to the right edge of an outdoor flag. It is commonly held that this netting will fray first, thus prolonging the life of a flag — however we are not aware of any statistical evidence to back this up. We believe it is an unnecessary expense which, in many cases, has the opposite effect to that which is intended. We offer an 'antifray' option ONLY because customers occasionally insist on it. We do not recommend it. Made to order. These durable outdoor quality printed flags are made to order and customers should allow days for them to be manufactured and despatched.

The design was probably first used in the coat of arms of the counts of Forcalquier in modern Provence , in the 12th century, [ citation needed ] and by the counts of Toulouse in their capacity as Marquises of Provence, on 13th century coins and seals. A yellow Occitan cross on a blood-red background with the seven-armed golden star of the Felibritge makes up the flag of modern-day Occitania. The Occitan cross probably first appears in the coat of arms of the counts of Forcalquier and then during the reign of Raymond V , count of Toulouse, as a particular description of his official seal dated from corroborates. Several interpretations have been proposed for the cross, often stressing the symbolic side of it and leaving aside the fact that " heraldry is not a science of symbols, but one of emblems" M. Pastoureau [ citation needed ]. In , Henri Rolland suggested that the origin of the Occitan cross be traced back to the marquisate of Provence , north of the Durance , more precisely the town of Venasque.
