John, don't do this.  These pneumatics need to be really supple.
Use either the thinnest possible cloth _or_ pouch leather, but not both!
If you use cloth, you will probably have to redo them in a few years
because you will find them to be leaky due to quality of cloth.

The best is kangaroo pouch leather.  It will outlast new pneumatic
cloth any day and is very supple.  Remember to seal it.

Kind regards,
