Where to buy a Red Jack in E.U.

[sepharad]

I live in Portugal and need a sewn, 3/4 yard Polyester, Red Jack, Made and sold in the E.U.

I saw a nice flag, made in Italy sold on Jimmy Greens, but with the full UK/Brexit penalty.

45 Pounds to mail a flag plus 45 Pounds for the flag is too much.

Were IN the EU can I buy a sewn, polyester Red Jack?

Would it be a Red Ensign that you are looking for?

It would be. ( AKA Red Duster, Merchant flag) 3/4 yard, 100% Polyester, sewn not printed, reinforced edges.


But needs to come from an EU source to avoid being hideously gouged.


I can find low quality ones, but KNOW that good ones are made in the EU, but can't find them, before they get shipped off to the UK, which then results in $50+ in shipping BACK into the EU.

Thank you, Sadly, all of the Amazon DE and ES Red ensigns are printed, not sewn. Its a shame because the shipping is reasonable.

Out of curiosity, why can it not be a printed one?
They might be a lot cheaper, so get two and change it earlier if it fades...

The printed ones dont last, generally, past a season. The stitched, woven ones last and generally come with superior edge stitching.


I really should have worded my question differently.


I should have asked where in the EU people get their flags and then went from there.


I have found a place named Sheridan Marine in the UK, who sells nice flags and doesn't terrorize you with shipping costs. Some of the UK flag makers make some really exceptional quality flags. One outfit makes truly exceptional flags...but at truly exceptional costs as well.



Moving items into and out of the EU can be problematic sometimes.


My Chandler in Vigo is searching for a sewn, Crown-less, Spanish courtesy flag now. He admits (and you can see in the Marinas) that the printed and nylon ones are reduced to rags pretty quickly.

Loads of places do embroidery , T shirts and so forth. Why not contact them and you can do a design on a computer
