WoodwindBrasswind out of Indiana used to sell a nice Leather gig bag. It was their "own" label, obviously made by somebody else. I got one a number of years ago for my 186 and it has held up great. I put a sheepskin pad on the shoulder strap to make it more comfortable for the "one shoulder" carrying position. I have an altieri that I like but it is a "top loader" which can be cumbersome. I had a Humes & Berg which was a great bag BUT the shoulder straps were too far down for me, so it felt like the horn was top heavy. I couldn't carry it with just one strap. That bag was older so I don't know if the new ones are any different. A friend has a nice Reunion Blues bag but rumour has it that they are hard to come - by because of manufacturing issues.
Hope that helps.
