Phoenix Day is THIS Sunday, October 16. A day of neighbor-hosted block parties and Family Fun Hubs to sidewalk sales and community clean-ups.
Make sure to share images and show your stickers, buttons and phoenix gear with pride!
]]>We just sold out of the large 3'x5' Fog & Gold Flags. I have an order on its way (which I placed in November) with a batch (50 to be exact) of new 3'x5' flags. I'm hoping it arrives later this week in time to send out to folks buying flags for the holidays. Some 2'x3' flags will be in the order too.
Please contact me if you are interested in express shipping a flag to you or to a recipient. We can work out the details.
Thank you for your interest and patients.

We have flags in all sizes: large, medium, small and mini flags on a stick. You can also order stickers and buttons.
Mini flags are great for your desk, waving while outside, a garden or even on a bike.
Small flags work great for bikes, boats, or that smaller flag you'd like to put on the wall.
Medium and large flags work best on walls, windows or their favorite spot - on flag poles.
Either way a flag wants to be seen, whether outside in the breeze or indoors making a statement.

Before getting into specifics - the goal of a flag, and the flags reason for being is being on display. It wants to be seen, whether outdoors, indoors, waving as you run or rider your bike - must be seen.
If you're more classing you'll fly it on a pole. Most folks will want to put it on a pole that connects to your wall. In this case you'll need to basing things:
The flagpole. If you're flying the popular 3x5 flags, a 1" thick, 6' long (or 8' long) pole will do. I recommend getting the spinning flagpoles, as they reduce the chances of a tangled flag. I got one made of fiberglass and it works brilliantly.
The pole bracket can be a classic bracket for one position (e.g 45º or 90º). This is good if you're pretty sure you only want to display the flag at one angle at all times. However, you might want to mix it up with a 2-position pole bracket. I got one that has both 45º and 90º. Others can have 30º or even 80º. With a 2-position you get versatility, but also reliability. I like the Evergreen one with its 4 screws (instead of the more classic 3 screws)
A highly adjustable multi-angled flagpole bracket exists, but seems more likely to breaking, especially in locations with higher winds. Having so many positions makes it more vulnerable.
That's it. Then you just screw the bracket into your wall, screw the two pieces of the flag pole together, connect the flag to the pole and you're good to go.

]]>Thank you so much for your patience. I know everyone would like their flag ASAP. As I mentioned to most of you, the combination of shelter-in-place, many flag inkers being shut down, and then most recently the protests slowing some deliveries, it's taken a bit of time.
Anyone who ordered by May 3 will have their order sent out this week. So you should hopefully get your flag or flags by next weekend. The only item that is still waiting delivery is the 2x3 flags. Those flags, and and an additional order of 3x5 flags has been ordered, and should arrive late June or early July.
Let me know if you have any thoughts, comments or questions. Note that $10 of every flag goes to charity. Also, if you know of any community groups that would display a flag outside or in their premises, as I'm setting some flags aside for groups like this.
Thanks to all for your support. May there be a spirit of resilience, camaraderie, and justice for us all with the rebirth of San Francisco (and our country) to a new and better world tomorrow.

I realize this is a bit of time since some folks ordered their 3x5 flags as early as April 29. Unfortunately some delivery issues beyond my control delayed the delivery a few days. I should have the 3x5, 12x18, and mini flags all in hand early this week. That means most of you should be receiving your flags in the next 4-8 days.
Thanks again for your support, patience, and belief in a new San Francisco flag; the Fog & Gold Flag.

P.S. Stickers have arrived too! More on that soon.

Good news - for the over 100 people who ordered new flags, they are currently being printed as we speak. They should be finished printing in about 2 weeks, then sent to the flag vendor for quality control, then sent to me in San Francisco. All told, they should get here by end of May or first week of June.
I realize you're all eager to get your flags, and I wish I could give them to you sooner. However, with only one printer working at the flagmaker, and less reliable shipping, it may take some time.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do group e-mails so I don't have to type in each e-mail for over 100 people.
Your support and enthusiasm for the Fog & Gold Flag during these times warms my heart. I'm honestly surprised at the level of interest. I'll continue to write updates here on the block. Hope to get you e-mails soon.
Let me know if you have any questions. In the meantime, keep your spirits high - think creatively, support your community by being you and making a difference.
Best,
