J Flowers Tribute case
- Thread starter randallt6
- Start date
They were advertised as Sterling cases so I believe JB made them.
J.Flowers Tribute cases sold by Sterling are made by the Jiasen Case Company. John designed the case and taught them how to make it.
You can find more information here: http://www.jbcases.com/jflowers.html
The J.Flowers cases have not been discontinued. BUdget Billiards has them marked as discontinued but that probably means that Budget Billiards has stopped carrying them. Sterling is still having the cases made and you can see them here:

The brand is simply not being made in our custom shop any longer. At the beginning of the brand the cases were made in our shop until such time as the Jiasen Case Company was able to produce them to John's satisfaction.

Now they are produced by Jiasen. In our shop we currently make that style of case and call it our Classic model, found on this page: www.jbcases.com/casesbyname.html
The main difference between the two is that the factory model, the J.Flowers Tribute brand, is made on a line in cookie cutter fashion while the Classic series, made by JB Cases, is made one at a time and is completely customizable.
