Hung from a porch bracket or fixed across a wall, a 3' × 5' flag is the standard full-size choice, and this Flags Importer progress pride flag is made to be flown. Two metal grommets sit in the header, the colours are dye-sublimated through the polyester, and the fly end is reinforced for days when the wind picks up.

What the progress pride flag adds

Daniel Quasar kept the classic six-colour rainbow as the main field and laid a chevron over the left side. The black and brown stripes, first added to the rainbow by Philadelphia's Office of LGBT Affairs, honour queer people of colour and those affected by HIV/AIDS. The light blue, pink and white come from Monica Helms's transgender flag. Quasar shaped them into an arrow pointing right to suggest progress still in motion.

Hanging a full-size poly flag

The two grommets clip onto halyard snaps on a flagpole or slide over hooks on a wall or railing. Indoors, a pair of small nails or adhesive hooks through the grommets is enough for a dorm, office or community hall. A pole isn't included, so check that a house-mount bracket pole is meant for a 3' × 5' flag before buying one. Being printed on one side, the image shows through to the back as a mirror image, which is normal for single-ply polyester.

Weather and wear

The supplier says rain beads off the fabric and that the colours are made to resist sun fading. The fly edge, the part that whips around most, carries four rows of stitching and the other edges are double-stitched. Even so, any polyester flag lasts longer if it comes down for storms and goes away dry.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about Flags Importer Progress Pride Flag 3'x5' Polyester.

What do the chevron colours mean?

The six rainbow stripes represent the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. In the chevron, black and brown recognise queer people of colour and people affected by HIV/AIDS, while light blue, pink and white represent trans people. The arrow shape points toward progress still to be made.

Which way should the progress pride flag hang?

On a pole, the chevron belongs at the hoist, the edge with the grommets, so the arrow points out toward the fly. On a wall, keep the chevron on the left with the red stripe at the top. Hanging it vertically, rotate it so the red stripe is on the viewer's left.

What size flagpole do I need for a 3x5 pride flag?

Most house-mounted poles sold for residential flags take a 3' × 5' flag. Look for one marketed for that size, with two clips or rings spaced to match the grommets. Very short poles let the fly drag on railings or siding.

Is this flag waterproof?

The supplier describes it as rain-resistant, with water beading off the surface. That helps in showers, but a soaked flag is heavier and strains the grommets, so bring it in during heavy weather and let it dry before folding.

How do I wash a polyester flag?

Hand-wash it in cool water with a mild detergent, or use a gentle machine cycle on its own. Skip bleach, rinse well and hang it to dry; tumble-drying on high heat can crease polyester and loosen stitching.

How is this different from the Inclusive Pride flag?

The inclusive design adds a yellow triangle and purple circle for intersex people inside the chevron. If you'd like that version at full size, see the 3' × 5' Inclusive Pride flag.
