    Cain't help you with the knapsack, never made one. A flag is a different story. What kind of flag are you proposing to make? Different flags were made of different fabrics. Yankee colors were usually made from silk. Confederate flags vary from wool to cotton, to flannel to bunting, and silk as well.

      I'm not a military person, but the first step is always to research what fellows in your specific unit/region were issued at that point of the conflict. There are government specifics for the vast majority of issued gear, and that should give you the specs on the weights of materials, etc.
