The original ESG tent was dyed canvas. It was replaced 15 -20 years age with a leather one and the second leather one was made about 6 years ago. The dyed tent looked nothing like leather and I think it would be very difficult to make cloth look like leather. The ESG tents are also hand stitched. This means that on the joints you can put a loop of thread halfway through the thickness of the leather when you stitch them. This results in waterproof joints as the stitching doesn't go all the way through.
