I think I finally found concrete proof or at least as concrete you'll probably end up getting short of a email from the dev teams explaining every little change ever made

Woven Yellow Recluse Silk, Grizzly, Coyote, Gnoll Pelts

These are both used for new newbie quests in Freeport and Ak'Anon respectively. It is unlikely they are used in anything else, but if you would like to experiment, go ahead with that warning.

(If there are other new quest items that look like tailoring, feel free to post them here and I'll change the title, but those are the ones we're getting pinged on the most)

Since the patch, there are two different kinds of grizzly bear hides dropping. It seems that thick grizzly bear hides correspond to the old grizzly bear hides, and can be used to make potion bags, whereas the "just plain" grizzly bear hides dropping now are only used for some of the Freeport quests. - Balidil

Thick Grizzly Bear Skin is used for bearskin potion bags, is wt 5.0 and lage.

Grizzly Bear Skin is used for newbie quests, is wt 0.2 (don't remember size)

All the Grizzly Bear Skin i had in the bank before the patch turned into Thick Grizzly Bear Skin, which gave me the hint. Then i heard a shaman auctioning to buy a potion bag (i know. i was shocked too) so i took the opportunity to make a couple plat and test my hypothesis.
