Consider corduroy. It gives at least as good a grip as velvet,
doesn't wear thin patches as readily, and is a heck of a lot cheaper.
I actually prefer it to velvet.
Going without a cover is ok until you start to sweat. Then it can
feel really icky.

Greetings.
I'm replacing the cover for my bag, due to replacing the leather bag
with a longer necked one, which would otherwise poke out in an
undignified way.
I've only ever seen velvet used on bag covers so far. Is it just a
fine
tradition, or is there some reason why other cloths may be
inappropriate? Has anyone out there any experience of other cloths
and
their potential drawbacks?
If I do end up with a different cloth, do I get excommunicated, or
burnt, or anything like that?
Best wishes,
Richard.
