Legio XX here has a leather tent, as you can see in the photos from the site. I can take closeups at the event this weekend, as there are a lot of details you dont' see usually. I think the flaps were a particular problem.

Now, if you read the Vindolanda book on the leather remains, they suggest that the side walls are higher than the Legio XX reconstruction, but the book came out after the tent was made.
