Anybody else notice that the texture and suppleness of their canvas pieces varies with the model? I know there were previous threads regarding variations in the color of the canvas, but I couldn't find any about this specific topic. Sorry if this is a duplicate, i'm not that savvy with searches.
For example, my speedy 30's canvas is soooo soft and squishy. Basically it has no self-support when empty and will just cave in on itself from the weight of the handles! But for other hard-sided items like my damier manosque PM, or even my manhattan PM which is not hard-sided but stiffer, the bag is very structured and the canvas is more difficult to bend.
Another example is my keepall 55 with shoulder strap attachments (very soft canvas) versus my evasion, which is more structured and stiff.
The thought just came to me as I was reading the other thread about the lockit horizontal. I would expect that bag to be very hard-sided and structured, but was surprised when somebody described this one as soft.
I think I prefer the supple canvas over the stiffer version. I wonder if this is a variation that actually occurs in the canvas (i.e. two bags made in separate factories may feel different) or if certain models are meant to be stiffer and include more reinforcements between the canvas and lining?
Any thoughts? Which do you prefer? Thanks for your input in advance
