toile de coton
Explanation:
This is the term suggested on Termium.
Wikipedia states that duck canvas is also called cotton duck. It is most often cotton and more rarely linen, which confirms "toile de coton" (vs. "toile de lin", for instance).

canevas en coton de trame serré


Explanation:
Cotton duck is commonly used for oil or acrylic painting because it's heavy enough to be stable and it's also closely woven, so it doesn't let the paint seep through.

https://www.bigduckcanvas.com/
'Cotton duck (from Dutch doek, "linen canvas") is often referred to as duck, duck cloth or duck canvas. Outside the industry, many people just say "canvas." It's a heavy, plain woven cotton fabric. There is also linen duck, which is less often used.'

The same qualities that make cotton duck good for painting would also be useful for gloves.

(toile de) coutil


Explanation:
J'avais rencontré ce terme dans une traduction.
C'est la traduction proposée par le Robert & Collins
Quand on compare les définitions sur internet, cela correspond :

Duck canvas: 'Cotton duck (from Dutch: doek, "linen canvas"), also simply duck, sometimes duck cloth or duck canvas, is a heavy, plain woven cotton fabric. Duck canvas is more tightly woven than plain canvas.' (Wikipedia)

Coutil : "Toile faite de fil de chanvre ou de lin, mélangée quelquefois de coton, lissée et serrée." (Wiktionary) / "Toile de chanvre, de lin ou de coton, d'un tissage croisé, fortement serré, propre à faire des tentes, des enveloppes de matelas, d'oreillers, etc., ou à confectionner certains vêtements." (CNRTL)

neutral  B D Finch: The fabric shown in your reference looks more like ticking or twill than duck canvas.

  -> Does it? Looks/Sounds pretty similar to me. It's probably the closest equivalent that isn't a circumlocution. Choice will depend on how technically accurate the translation needs to be.
