I think they look great Char...i can't tell from the pix, but is that canvas almost heavy duty? I ask because i went searching for canvas so wifey could sew up some rod socks for some of my vintage stuff. The goal was to find something that closely matched the early Leonard socks but we couldn't find anything like the original. Wifey can sew them up from just about anything but the old...sorta stiff but not too stiff...canvas ones are easier to load the rod sections in. Like the reel bags too. Is that a little Martin i see there on the left?

Thanks for your service btw,
