I would be tempted to either double layer it with an interfacing to hold the layers as one or canvas backing on leather

Yes.
Ben Sutton had a contact for canvas in Palmy. My contacts are all in the Northern Half, but if you have no luck, let me know and I'll give you the address.

Just a heads up.
If you're going to the canvas company for canvas, you're paying way over the odds for the material.
Try gourock. They have a warehouse in Te Atatu and sell direct to the public.
http://www.gourock.co.nz/
I go there for canvas, thread and rope. best prices in NZ for most of that stuff.
Untreated 12oz duck is $6.98 per meter at the moment. Don't pay more.

Phone them.
Most of the stuff on the website is high end marine grade stuff.
Not what you're wanting.
