I had some Domke, I think the F2, back in the 1980s. It was gray and tan natural cloth with a thin plywood bottom insert that cracked. After a few years the smell was terrible and it was impossible to clean and remove the stench. I don't think Domek had poly fabrics back then.

Yea that crunchy base board is terrible. I took it out and replaced it with a thick domke wrap so the bag is lighter and more flexible.
Most canvas bags turn smelly eventually especially waxed canvas ones. Filson peeps use volka to get rid of stench from jackets and bags.
