I looked at those photos and saw a wonderfully used bag that has a lot of life left. Dirty? Doesn't look it to me, but then you lot have seen my bikes and I don't think them particularly dirty either, at least once things dry and flake off or come off in a good rain. Grin. I wouldn't touch that bag except to use that bag. Scents would be my big thing. If it smelled like oil, I'd not touch it. I'm wimpy that way.
On a practical note that might actually be helpful to someone already determined to ruin a good bag, in my experience with waxed cotton, rewaxed cotton is never, ever as good as the original waxing. I've done the whole coat it, tumble dry it, iron it, repeat thrice thing. Never. The. Same. And it's worse than unwaxed cotton because somehow the bit of wax remaining seems to draw in water, or at least prevent the cotton from swelling and thus drawing in less water. R.I.P. Baggins. My cautionary conclusion (not really a tale, as I don't remember the specific failures. They involved at least a Filson jacket and vest.) You may want to go for the sarong fabric under the bag too -- that'd look sharp on you on the bike! Grin.
