Hi John,
I'd hate to think the argument is cut and dried - leather for military tents - canvas or leather for civillian, there are certainly some very fancy looking non-leather looking tents depicted in he Virgillius Romanus, for example, aren't there? Its my open-mindedness that has me pondering things like the goathair tent.
