Actually it's odd about the velvet bag-covers, I've played them for 40 years and never had a problem with them slipping.

Then a few years ago I got a velvet bag-cover with the Dycem patches, but when I debuted it at a wedding gig I could barely play my pipes! It was the first time I had a bag constantly slipping down. I never wore that cover again.
Richard, I tend to agree. I think the Dycem is a gimmick, made popular by all the Grade 1 bands. Pipers have done well without them for centuries. Plus, I think it spoils the aesthetic of the bag, for what it's worth...
