I'd like to know what kind of material this is in the pics. The problem is that the flags available commercially are too big. For a flag on my float I want it to have the minimum size required by law which is 12" x 12". The ballast I have on the float will not keep up the bigger flags. It's fairly simple to make a flag. The red material you see in the pics accepts stitching and the white stripe is just oil paint. I'm sure this material is dirt cheap, can anyone identify it?
I have used heavy industrial bags at work that looked to be of a similar material. In those cases, they were a PVC coated polyesther fabric. It's available in several different weights.
Not quite the same, but similar. The fabric of the bags is a little tighter weave, I think, but you can still see space between the indivual threads.
Looks like it's the stuff used for banners. Do a search for "PVC Banner", or "Banner Material". I didn't find any suppliers in my quick search, but the pictures look like the same stuff.
Right on!! That's what it is, banner material. Should be available from a sign supply shop. You're good Tin Man 
Make sure the stripe is 3 inches wide 
.
The regulations stipulate:
QuoteThe width of the stripe must be 25 percent of the height of the flag.
Well I'll be darned! At 12" x 12" the stripe must be 3"
