Hi Tassie have a look at BECC model accessories site.
They indicate 36mm for 1/24 to 1/48 scale.

Try Mike Allsop ‘Flag Man’


Can’t remember his email address off the top of my head but he has the greatest range of flags at reasonable prices made from silk. All my boats have them and they look incredible.

Have a look at https://www.flaginstitute.org/pdfs/Barrie%20Kent.pdf which is very interesting.  Less important than the size is the proportions of 5:4.
