Thats very reasonable too. Unless you buy bulk bolts of Fabric wholesale,
you cannot make them for that price.

I don't know what in the hell it is, but I order the orange windsocks
from Spruce and they last me nearly two years before I have to replace
them. I order the cheap ones IIRC, something like $30 bucks for an 18
inch opening by 98 inches long. Those numbers are close. But, before
I ordered these, I had the same problem you have. All socks only
lasted me about 4 to 6 months and they were in rags from the sun here
in the desert of Las Vegas. This orange matterial looks like it's
impregnated with some plastic like a coated or soaked vinyl cloth
coated with urethane or something.
