Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags

Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags Made in Scotland by James Begg

 

Begg Sheepskin Pipe Bags are handmade in Scotland by James Begg, a well-known pipe 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.  In order for sheepskin bags to remain airtight, they must be seasoned regularly  with Hardie's Airtight Seasoning. Sheepskin pipe bags are considered by a good number of pipers to be the top of the line, but they're not right for every piper. Many pipers would be better served by a different bag type. 

 

We don't mean to overdo the cautionary notes, but a sheepskin bag, like all pipe bags, is a big investment, and we want to make sure you get the right pipe bag for you.

 

If you don't have any Airtight seasoning at home, you'll need to add a container, so you can season the bag immediately after tie in. You'll also need tie-in materials, so you may want to add a Tie-in Kit (which could leave you a little short on cord) or a roll of Tie-in Cord.
