I like that one a lot. Ive got one of the canvas roll up carriers. It's never been off our property though, it's just for home use.
That may sound odd but we have a farm, a cabin, a few ponds, and several camping and hunting areas around the property. The roll up has never left the property, but has lots of miles.

I have two Firedog pouches and they beat any I’ve ever seen.

Love old things that show the individual’s tendencies, loved and worn patina cannot be replaced. I have my fathers saddle which I keep clean but I can’t bring myself to getting it re-flocked as it’s worn just to the shape of him and his horse. I can see how he held the horse, where he gathered the reins and how he held them and how and where he put pressure on the horse. I can close my eyes and see him on it and that’s priceless. So not all old things should be relegated or binned as they are a snapshot of you.
The old one looks great, as does the new one. I'd definitely keep the old one though, "just in case." I tend to fall on the side of @VDL_Piper in that I love the unique way some objects age and tell a story about the owners. Old violins can easily be used for hundreds of years and even the humble ones that are still in use tell a lot to those interested. To family members, personal effects like your old pouch are even more interesting if they show signs of a long life of honest use. I treasure my dad's old daily tobacco pouch all the more for its wear and tear. Keep that old one, it might be held in loving esteem by a future family pipe smoker or maybe just a sentimental descendent.
Edit: I'm pretty sure the pouch pictured above was from the late 1930s or early '40s.
