If you double on bass or tenor trombone there is a mute I developed called the Salt Shaker mute that's worth your consideration. Its primary benefit is as a stand in for bucket mute. Its light, convenient, can be customized for multiple bell throat sizes, and you can tweak the sound you get out of it with the included felt pads. Its been one of my most popular offerings and continues to rack up endorsements and raving reviews.

I bet they work well, but looking cool always helps too.

I can confirm, they work well and look cool.

From time to time S-Mute adds an endorsing artist to the lineup. This week we have Nandor Kasza, trombonist at Concerto Budapest Symphony and Budapest Jazz Orchestra! Here is what he has to say about the Salt Shaker mute.

In my opinion, this is a very, very practical piece, because its insertion is very fast, which is often needed in big band.  Its tone is a nice velvety, soft, pleasantly warm sound when set to bucket. When used in big band, it fits perfectly with the sound of the other trombone players, it doesn't seem like they are using a different type. Intonation? With or without it, it's the same!

The cork is of excellent quality, its adhesion is 100% secure! I love it! The workmanship of the entire damper is professional, great work! The design is extra cool!

I'm very glad I chose this! I'm sure it will spread even more in Europe soon because it's a lovely solution!

This mute is worth a look for your trombone bucket mute needs, or other soft/velvet mute type sound!
