I bought a set of WE canvas paniers from Clarence St Cyclery in 1994.
I rode around Europe and still use them today.

Wilderness Equipment gave me a set of front and rear canvas panniers in 1984 when I was touring RTW. I still use them occasionally on tour, though I have a newer nylon pair of rears. The WE fronts need a hook to be replaced but as I have some Ortleibs front panniers, I haven't bothered doing that yet. The Ortleibs have been my commuting choice over the last few years.
