What Liberty Flags does

Liberty Flags is a privately held, direct-to-consumer retailer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that sells 100% American-made flags, flagpoles, and patriotic merchandise under its registered "The American Wave®" brand assurance mark. The catalog spans outdoor and ceremonial American flags (in SunTru™ Nylon, WaveCrest™ Polyester, and Traditional Cotton), all 50 U.S. state flags, U.S. territories, every military branch, first responder and memorial flags, an extensive library of historic American flag reproductions, commercial and residential flagpoles, custom/logo flags, grave markers, patriotic decorations, and gift items. Manufacturing is differentiated through proprietary fabric treatments (fade-resistant 200-denier nylon, spun/woven polyester engineered for high-wind durability), lock-stitched hems, brass grommets, UV-resistant color-fast dyes, and full digital dye penetration.

The business operates as a pure DTC retailer via a Shopify-powered e-commerce site (libertyflags.com), supplemented by a Tulsa showroom at 5634 S. Mingo Road, phone ordering (800.322.3524 / 918.834.1110), and a request-a-quote workflow for bulk and custom orders. Pricing is unit-based with no recurring or subscription component; AOV ranges from $39 entry-level nylon flags to $4,323 commercial flagpoles, with free shipping on qualifying orders above $100. Customer segments are segmented horizontally across residential consumers, government/municipal, military/veteran, educational, business/corporate, and first responder buyers, with marketing executed through organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), email, and an in-house blog including half-staff notifications and flag-flying holiday content. The company employs 1–10 people, has not raised external funding, and shows no M&A or international expansion activity.

Direct peers

• FlagandBanner.com: Online specialty retailer of American flags, state flags, military flags, and historic reproductions with a similar niche-DTC model. Comparable target customers (patriotic consumers, schools, civic organizations) and similar catalog breadth.
• Carrot-Top Industries: Specialty retailer focused on flags, patriotic decor, and commercial flagpoles for businesses, schools, and government buyers. Comparable to Liberty Flags on the B2B/commercial side and on patriotic decorations/lighting.
• Valley Forge Flag: Major U.S. flag manufacturer and DTC retailer serving residential, commercial, and government markets. Directly comparable to Liberty Flags on American-made positioning, custom flag capabilities, and bulk/commercial flagpole offerings.
• Annin & Co. (Annin Flagmakers): The largest U.S. flag manufacturer (founded 1847), offering American-made residential, commercial, and ceremonial flags plus flagpoles. Most direct competitor to Liberty Flags across the full product spectrum, with overlapping material technologies and government/military supply credentials.
• Allegiance Flag Supply: DTC American flag retailer emphasizing U.S.-made products and patriotic offerings. Directly comparable to Liberty Flags on product mix (residential American flags, military branch flags, custom work) and brand positioning.

Emerging players

• Etsy (Etsy, Inc.): Online marketplace hosting numerous small sellers of custom, historical, and personalized flags. Overlaps with Liberty Flags on custom logo and historic reproduction flags, and represents a long-tail competitive threat on personalization.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon: Mass-market e-commerce platform selling commodity American flags, state flags, and patriotic decor at aggressive prices. Not a niche specialist but a direct substitute on convenience and price for residential flag buyers.
• Home Depot: National home improvement retailer carrying residential American flags, state flags, and basic flagpoles. Comparable on residential flag SKUs but lacks Liberty Flags' custom, ceremonial, and historic reproduction depth.
