Not to totally hijack the thread, but Ron at Acorn bags provides great service and makes extra effort. If you ever need leather washers or straps, his are the best made anywhere. I guess I bought the last of his tubular/banana bag (a really neat little roll-top). I asked him to make me some tag loops, which I could use for a blinkie and for securing floppy strap tags. He made up a half-dozen sent them to me gratis.
