Patching is definitely the way to go. Take it to an upholstery shop and have it fixed properly, They will have the correct thread size and material to reinforce the tear.. I have a machine, but you are a little too far away for me to be able to help. Charlie

If you want to got the DIY route, get yourself a Speedy Stitcher and some canvas of the right thickness. The speedy stitcher comes with waxed thread and some different style needle inserts. I fix things like that with my machine, but the Speedy stitcher is a good tool to have for field repair or the DIY er. Here is a clip of how to use one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6OatKzjeD0

good canvas and a commercial sewing machine patch that right up , the patch bridges the tear and gets you fresh material to bite into that isn't right at the edge of the tear.
lots of stitching with that patch will tie it all together

That heavy military canvas takes stitching real well. Buy a repair kit.
