We repair Old Glory until the blue cannon and stars exceed or equals the length of the stripes. Please note, a repaired flag lasts half the time as a new flag. The reason, the flag material has been worn and stretched. Repairing Old Glory is best with 8x12' and above. The larger flags cost more so repair is cost effective. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Essentially, when you fold the star field over, if the tear goes to where the star field is, it can’t be repaired any longer. We can check this for you. Also, if it can’t be repaired (most can be), we will give you 10% off of a new one and will make sure your flag is retired properly.
The American Legion will burn up your old flag. You should not toss it in the trash..
There really isnt one. But generally its best to retire it when it is not looking its best. You can also only repair them so much before they would become too short.
