canvas doesn't shrink so probably canvas is more tightly weaved probably less airy, when I brush my 24 oz indigo x indigo denim I can see brown dust particle on the fabrics can travel through the fabrics from outside in and the other way so maybe 15oz would be even more airy unless you preshrunk it with hot wash or something.

A looser, airy weave with a leather skin on top would collect and trap more warm air, like down in a sleeping bag, based on this thinking.

In truth, the answer to this can only be guessed at. My guess is they are both about the same, given they are both a thick cotton of the same weight.

Horween CXL natural 4.5-5oz d pocket, simple design like CXL 113 or Beck LeatherTogs. Something like this but with much much thicker hide. (order placed today at Alan's birthday)
