You could also find thicker canvas to cover your fingertips.
I practice mostly lighter pull compound, but I also shoot recurve. I no longer use finger protection or forearm protection, but that has more to do with the fact that I don't practice enough for it to matter. One issue that I had with finger protection is that it made my release inconsistent.
I say all of that above to caution when trying a new material like denim or canvas, because it might drag on the string. But I still recommend canvas over denim for wear resistance.
Good luck, amd let us know how it goes!
