Depending upon which part of the country you're from, gunnysack goes by various names.

In the part of Virginia where I live, gunnysack used on tobacco sleds was referred to sometimes as croker sack.

Here's the question. If you wanted to use the phrase "croker sack-sided tobacco sleds," would you need to also hyphenate croker sack like this: "croker-sack-sided tobacco sleds"?

Interesting to note: croker sack was thought to have been the loosely woven fabric in which crocuses were shipped in colonial times. It was referred to in New England as "crocus sack," but, according to the AHD, "crocus sack" is no longer used. However, "croker sack" still appears in certain regions.

Anyway, thanks for any advice on how to hyphenate the phrase: "croker-sack-sided tobacco sled" v. "croker sack-sided tobacco sled." I have no idea which would be preferred.
