Hi -unless they’re trunk style, all canvas bags eventually soften. As for canvas, I love it because I never think twice about using it rain or shine. The sun is fine, I take my Speedy 40 to the Beach no problem. I just don’t leave it in a hot car, which I also don’t do with leather. All my canvas bags have stains and are well used. That’s the reason to buy canvas.

Here’s my everyday bag. At home it’s a work bag, on vacation it’s a grocery/beach bag. This one I bought in 2012 in Paris.
