I have a classic III nozzle laying around if you need it.

I have the Omega nozzles, but they come with free parts vacs attached! :o)
What is a 'tattersall' bag?

Rob,

Blaze is referring to this style of the factory Classic III bag cloth.

Ben, is that really the name of that pattern? Or is it sales slang or sumthun? I just see it as 'plaid'...

I have a new one on my c3. The bags on classic 3 and tradition are truly the worst bags Kirby made.
The classic is like a fleece blanket.
If you wash tradition it will probably tear.
The new replacement are much better.

I had washed both original Tradition and Classic III bags in buckets and in the machine with no problems, as well as reinstalling them. Of course past storage conditions may make your mileage vary...
Not sure what they are made of but they were lightweight when pulled from the washer.

Rob,

Yes. Here is a Wikipedia article on that; the image they use matches what is on the Kirby bag...

Thanks Ben - just added another new word to my vocabulary.
And I thought I was too old for that!

Don't feel bad..I always thought it was plaid too until I seen another Kirby guy say tattersall, so I googled it and have used it since, LMAO. I found a late model bag on ebay
