Reusable bread bag

I wonder if anyone has experience with the reusable bread bag in the latest King Arthur catalog?

🤣 -- no -- but that never stopped me from commenting about anything.🤣

So: maybe half the reviews on the KA site are seriously negative, most claiming that the bag has a horrible odor or didn't work or was too small. The secret to this KA product seems to be a waxed cotton sleeve. And, fyi, there are a bunch of waxed-natural-fiber bread bags for sale on etsy and from some companies like keeki & superbee. I have no idea if they work -- but KA is not the only one flogging this idea.

PS: I used to have a waxed canvas Filsen jacket that was amazingly waterproof -- but made me sweat in the summer. Knowing that, I would think that a waxed fabric might be good at keeping outside moisture from making the crust soggy, but maybe not so good at letting the bread's own moisture out.
