Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags with Swan Neck

Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags These sheepskin bags are handmade in Scotland by James Begg, a well-known bag maker with decades of experience. Sheepskin bags provide excellent natural moisture control for pipers who play regularly. The bags absorb moisture when played and then dry overnight. This natural feature can eliminate the need for any additional moisture control products.  In hot, dry climates where it is desirable for a bag to retain moisture, a hide bag might be a better choice, but in moderate and moist climates, the inherent properties of sheepskin make it an exceptional pipe bag material. For sheepskin bags to remain airtight, they must be seasoned regularly.
