Default Waxed Canvas or Cotton Gear?

There’s a guy I work with who’s buying a vintage bike (a Pannonia, no less) and is looking for protective gear that would sort of match it style-wise.

That means race replica and H-D doo rag/chap styles are out. We were looking at plain black leather gear and then I mentioned waxed canvas stuff like the old style Belstaff jackets. I checked the Belstaff site and apparently they only make leather or nylon gear now. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that still makes waxed canvas/cotton gear?
