Source for Quality 3x5 flags

I display Old Glory every day and admittedly do not always fly it according to the rules such as bringing it in during bad weather.

However, the flags I've purchased from places like Amazon. Home Depot etc are really crap. The current one is shredded all along the edge from whipping in the wind after only 4 months.

So, do you guys have a source for quality flags? Or will any flag fail due to my laziness?

I just picked up a 3 x 5 flag with pole and mounting bracket at Costco yesterday. They usually get them in right before summer.

Made in USA, $34.

I've bought the 'good' quality and the cheap ones. They all seem to last about the same amount of time outdoors with direct afternoon sun - they fade.
I buy Harbor Freight flags when on sale and just replace them every 5-6 months.

Lowes near me had 2 qualities of flags. I bought the better one and it's still in good shape after 3 years.

I leave it outside all day and year around, except for winter. It is shaded most of the day.

I’ve had good luck with the sewn US made ones. The cheap dyed nylon don’t last.

I have a fully embroidered Annin. Probably the highest quality you can buy.
