Finally I was able to get to M Steffan's Sons and get leather for trimming the raw edges of the canvas. I was terribly absentminded so forgot to ask about leather for straps. I will need to return soon for that...
The piece of leather I bought for trim is dark gray, textured, and thin enough to sew without pre-punching the holes.
I cut 1 inch strips of the leather, and folded them around the raw edges of the canvas. The polyester thread I used for the rest of the pannier worked well for sewing the leather on too.
The finished product....
