Hi Dennis,
I recall that Chossy saddlebags are listed in a copy of the 1952 Holdsworths catalog. I don't have the catalog in front of me but I believe that they were either cotton duct or "unused" felt - and along the lines of a Carradice.
I could provide a scanned copy of the catalog page to Margaret if she is interested.
