Thanks, Gino. I ordered a kahki wedge bag for my Riv Road. My wife says "flannel' should be off-white, so that's probably the bag that looks white in the photo. I have a larger Jandd wedge, and it's a nicely made bag. My old Duluth Banana Bag will move over to my Kogswell, as it matches the Ostrich front bag pretty nicely.
RBW is out of the XL salmon / shrimp shirts, darn it. I'd have grabbed one of those, too.
