I was looking to up my gamer cred and bought 2 750 ml crown royal bags on ebay for $4.99 (with free shipping). They came today but were coarse purple fabric. I thought they were supposed to be velvety, see below. Is this a question of different bag sizes being made out of different materials (these were considerably larger than I was expecting, so maybe they had to make it out of a tougher fabric to hold a larger bottle)? Did crown royal switch to different materials to cut costs? Can anyone offer an explanation?

Answering my own question: The crown royal "special reserve" bags are velvety (I just bought 3 on ebay) regular (the cheaper stuff) crown royal bags are NOT velvety, I don't know if they ever used to be.

Years ago my sons gave me their Mega Bloks Pyrates drawstring bag for dice,,,, they're still going strong:

This is still one of my favorite dice bag (of which I have many):

I've got my semi-retired WHFRP3E dice in my Crown Royal bag. The 'active' dice are in various wooden boxes/chests I finished.

Then yours is the best one.

For almost 30 years I kept my dice in a translucent amber box just like the one pictured here. It carried my polyhedrals through my D&D years, then my D6's through my GURPS years. When I diversified the games I was running back in 2013, it was replaced by a number of separate containers which my girlfriend bought me for Christmas.
