Dupioni tends to be a bit stiffer than noil. Silk noil is traditionally
used for the flag of Japan.

If it's going on the battlefield and possibly getting wrapped around
armour and other spiky things, noil or dupion is good because it's not a
smooth surface to begin with, so it won't look ruined the first time a
thread gets pulled. Dupion would be lighter than noil - easier to carry
and more chance of fluttering in anything less than a gale.
