California State Flags

Show Golden State pride with California state flags built for vivid color and daily display. Choose outdoor nylon for easy flying or heavy-duty polyester for high winds, plus indoor pole-sleeve flags with optional gold fringe for formal spaces. All options are Made in the USA.

Materials & Finishes

Nylon (outdoor): Lightweight, flies in light breeze and dries quickly—great all-around choice.
Polyester (outdoor): Heavier, abrasion-resistant fabric for consistently windy or coastal areas.
Indoor (presentation): Pole sleeve finish with optional gold fringe for offices, schools, churches, and ceremonies.

Sizes & Pole Recommendations

Flag Size Recommended Pole Height Best Use
2' × 3' 10'–15' Porches, wall mounts

Best Choice For California Conditions

Along the coast and in high-wind corridors, polyester holds up longer against salt air and gusts. For inland, calm areas, nylon flies beautifully and dries fast after dew or light rain. Indoors, choose a pole-sleeve flag with optional fringe for a formal look.

The California Flag: Meaning & Design

The California state flag—often called the Bear Flag—features a grizzly bear, red star, and the words California Republic. The design traces to the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt, with the modern official version adopted in the early 20th century. Its bold elements make it instantly recognizable indoors or flying outdoors.
