Leather/other pouches for M-lenses?

Having begun amassing a collection of lenses, and generally having at least one extra in my bag at a time, I'm wondering about how to protect them a little better, whilst still keeping them portable.

I remember from my Dad's Zeiss Contax kit, that he had leather zip-up pouches for his lenses. They're in another country at the moment so I can't demonstrate them - but I was wondering if there was anything similar still available?

nothing works better than a plush soft cloth to wrap them in.

pouches, cases, anything with a drawstring or zipper just gets in the way.

I keep any camera / lens as fas as possible from anything made from leather in the tropics (fungus) but would recommend one of the lens pouches made from synthetic fabrics. I use these in the case I need to carry a second lens and since I don`t have a camera bag but ordinary messenger bag stuffed with other things, these lens pouches come in handy.
