This
one was a little hairy.
On this one we discussed the design for
several days and settled on a great
adaptation of the
Rolls Royce case. Costas wanted to
have a hair on leather combined with the oil
tan from the Rolls Royce. Originally he
wanted black and while I was able to procure
black oil tan I didn't find a complimentary
hair-on leather pattern for it. So we went
with the brown version.
This case stands
out for a couple reasons. One is that the
case is finished with no rivets and one
piece of leather wrapping around the front.
The last line of stitching is completed by
hand. The pockets are sewn onto the
completed body also by hand. The other
thing that distinguishes this case is the
interior. It is the very first to have the
JB Cases lightweight spring-effect interior.
This new interior allows the cue to be fully
inserted into the case cavity and when
opened the cue will come up gently for easy
removal. There are no springs or plugs
inside the cavity that take up valuable
space. So the cavity fits a full 32"
without the need to make the case longer.
The cue is cradled in soft fabric and
cushioned by foam rubber.
I have said enough, let me let Costas tell
you what he thinks,
"HATS-OFF TO THE GREATEST CUECASE MAKER IN
THE WORLD!!! ....that's my humble comment on
your work" and "I had the chance to compare
with a (name
of well known casemaker and more well known
professional player omitted for privacy)...
your work is really amazing..." Pantos

The case is a
2x4 for 2 butts and 4 shafts. It is a fully lined case with all the
protective features that come with the cases we build. Moisture resistant
super soft liner that won't wear out, foam rubber to protect against impact,
industrial strength rivets at the stress points, a heavy duty top latch, springy
effect, and durable tubing. The leather is treated to resist soiling and
liquids.
