Heuou. I'm looking for any ideas and suggestions on fabric pouches for square lens filters. The ones I have is the Lee Sev5n System but some of the filters came without the fabric blue pouches for them and I would like to buy a few to protect the filters from dust and scratches.

I already have the traveling pouch to fit all of them in and the filter holder, but I need protection for each filter and I can't seem to find anything similar on evilBay, AliExpress or in a Google search.

Anyone have any ideas where I could get some or how I could search for them? Starting this Autumn, September or October I'm going to be taking more time off work and I will do some hiking, it's my favourite time of the year, and I will be using the tripod and the filter system for more static landscape photography (something I haven't done in many MANY years).

PS. It doesn't have to be branded or any special fabric pouch, as long as it fits a 100mm square piece of glass and has felt or soft interior.
 
I have the same system and just use two of the field pouches. Packing and repacking as I see fit, for what is on the itinary for the day.

None of my filters came with any fabric pouches, just paper wrapped in their boxes, so I wasn't even aware that was an option.

You probably do know that Lee axed the Seven5 system as well as stopped supporting it some years back? They didn't even bother to reply when I shot them an e-mail, asking about it.

If anything untoward happens to my system, leaving me hanging, I am not buying anything from Lee, that's for sure.

Sorry to hear that. I knew that Lee dropped the system from their manufacturing but I didn't know they are dropping the support as well.
I bought all of the Lee filter stuff used from MPB and dirt cheap to reasonably cheap prices. There still is a decent amount of stock for them if I do need a replacement (some of them so cheap I can buy a 2nd or 3rd copy just for safe keeping when one fails).
When I bought the Big Stopper and Little Stopper they arrived in a blue fabric pouch (material that looks similar to high quality lens cloth for glasses) and I hoped others would as well but most of them came wrapped on paper and taped to a piece of cardboard (they they all arrived safe and free of damage). I will post a picture of them when I get back home from work tonight).

I bought into the Sev5n system because my Tamy zooms are all 67mm and I don't want to own a lens larger then that unless I really have to (like Tamy 150-500mm's 82mm and Sony 200-600mm's 95mm filter threads). And I really do not want to have a 150mm filter system, they are crazy expensive for me. Luckily the 67mm filter thread seems to be one of the most common size for mirroless systems (nice downsize from the 77mm of DSLRs).

These are the pouches I mentioned that almost half of the filters came with. Unfortunately MPB doesn't specify which items include the pouches or not.

They are made by Lee for the Sev5n system but I have yet you find them anywhere to purchase separately.

My system set. The pouches may not offer much extra protection, the inside of the travel bag itself is quite soft material to keept he filters from scratching but it doesn't add extra dust protection. 4 of my filters are just sitting there (3 Grad NDs and one CPL).
