[LargeFormat] Bag Bellows Material

[Charles Thorsten]

I don't have my bag bellows any more, but from what I
remember I think it was black leather.  This was the Toyo
bellows for the 4x5 cameras.  The leather was relatively
thick to hold its shape, but it had been worked quite a bit
to be flexible.  Not quite suede, but still soft.  This might
be a costly option but it always worked well.
