Bill,
You're overthinking this. Just buy enough 11 out tartan fabric in the tartan of your choice and cut to the correct size. Hem the edges, install grommets, and put it on the flagpole.
If it wears out in the year, make a new one.

You're close to where I am, David. Even stronger since I use toggle & loop and can sew in the cord. Scotchguard might help this too.
That's why I mentioned wool up above.

Or if you are feeling really adventurist Bill, go to your local fabric store and get some bias tape or even fringe in a nice color. Sew the bias tape or fringe all the way around three sides and the reinforcement tape on the pole side.

Father Bill,
Have you enquired of any of the vexillology sites what their fabric options are? It seems that there is some of risk of wheel re-invention without input from that quarter.

I haven't, Ian. To be honest, I have a pretty clear idea of what I'm trying to accomplish here in terms of symbolism and communication with my neighbours. It's a back yard flag pole for my own pleasure and to titillate the neighbourhood more than anything else.
