2 things… beautiful case. He does amazing work. I’m hoping thats just a storage case because no way I would want to haul that thing around all the time lol my shoulders would break
Actually I carry it like a briefcase in one hand while my other on carries my Aramith travel case with Centennials.
If I wanted, or needed, to go a little lighter, I have a couple of Instroke hard leather 3x7 cases & 2x4 case as well.

I could always go The Color of Money approach and just use my Palmer Deluxe case (violin style) that’s a 1x2 version.
I like being able to have a selection of cues to choose from and categorized my cues for playing on 7’ and 9’ tables.
 
Man … you would have to look that up but it’s been a few years now. sure wish I would. Have kept mine. He was a nice man. I got to speak to him at the expo more than once.

It was strange, I knew him for like 35 years and live maybe 10 miles from him. When he died they didn't have any kind of service, memorial or anything.

That’s wild for a man so well known and liked.

I met and spoke with him several times at SBE as well, after my initial phone conversation with him, when I ordered my case, so many years ago...he was a nice guy...

Thank you for posting his obit...
 
Did you read the comments and what people had to say.
Sounds like a really great and special guy. I'm sorry I only learned of him and his cases after his passing. While reading about his many talents and activities, I'm sure his cases would have been very well made and really special. Probably immediate collectors items now with his passing.

I met Jack twice and I also owned 6 of his cases, they were nothing but the best. He really took pride in his work.
 
I wish I didn't sell my Justis envelope case
I am sure everyone who has owned a Justice case is regretting getting rid of them now. I saw one the other day on eBay in mint condition that sold for $4400.00 Looks somewhat similar to the last one I had Jack make me.
