Aesthetic advantages of cotton also include looking good 20+ years after the oil-based material has shredded. That stuff is initially much stronger and more waterproof than Carradice cotton, but it doesn't seem to last.
It will outlast the cotton duck stuff if it's genuine top of spec fabric, which it never is with mass produced bags.
The age related wear and tear is nice on the eye though that's for sure.
