You have good taste, I agree. Super clean lines. Doesn't hold as much stuff but I can carry stuff in my pocket too. Chas used to charge a fortune for these.

I am a total sucker for that antiqued look of leather. I don't know how they achieve it but it's very attractive.
Right now, butterfly's are all the rage. They hold a lot of stuff but rarely do they look as good as a formed leather case. The tide will turn.
Tate, I like the "Chas" one better; with the forward handle. Makes for easier carry. My cases always end up being canted like that when I carry them, if you know what I'm trying to say. I think the forward handle is more ergonomic.
I just don't like the cut of that closure. That's the only thing that's kept me from buying an envelope case. Thought about ordering a custom several times. But, I just keep carrying my mason.
I get that, but it does contribute to the unique design along with the curved formed leather. Aesthetically I'm OK with it. I've lost my liking for the classic "cowboy" style case. Just a current fetish I guess.
That's pretty much the current "in style" from what I've been told by my buddy who's a dealer. Cowboy cases are dead, butterfly's are hot. They hold a ton of stuff for sure and adapt to almost anything. They are also very soft and easy to load and unload.
Yup!
The only real concern I have is that in a crowded room, you can’t really stand it up and keep your cues handy and ready to go in the case, like you can with a rigid top loading case...
