I look forward to seeing what's new out of curiosity, but the current (2017) Cole Hann bag looks pretty great and reusable as a dopp kit (based on TPG's photos). The twitter link in your post makes me tend to agree that the nice bags are going to First and business might be a downgrade.

I liked these ones. The bag size was nice, and easy to get things out of (unlike the current one): http://travelsbyjc.com/wp-content/up...67073109_n.jpg
The current leather F kit bag is also nice.

I'm not a fan of the current ones. PM me your address and I will send you a whole bunch of them, ha!

(The only other ones are these early 2000s era cheap UA bags that are tiny by today's standards, but are small pouches with drawstrings... perfect for storing chargers and cables.)

A few years ago they add SCOPE MOUTHWASH to the kits.
I was connecting in LHR recently, the Security agent announced info re kits you may have received on the plane. Would pax have to open their kits to remove the MW and move it to their "special baggie"? Once I had a 0.5 g tube of ointment (which I didn't place in the baggie), that caused LHR security agent to remove every item from my c/o for inspection.
[On past connections in LHR the MW was no issue...have things changed?]

But the Crest toothpaste tubes are bigger. And I never take them out before sending it through the LHR hyper-screener. I've not had my bag kicked over by leaving the amenity kits in my bag... even the new tiny mouthwash.

Well, the mouthwash now is just a small 1oz (maybe?) plastic container.
