Looking for suede pool sleeve.

Hi, for the life of me, I can't seem to find a simple, well made suede pool sleeve for 1butt+1shaft.

I recall seeing a thread about cue cases last year and somebody linked to a cue maker that did some great hand painted cases. Their site sold these rather unassuming sleeves that "could fit in your back pocket" when not being used. Now, either my searching skills are lacking, or the post is gone and I can't turn up anything but low quality "pool sleeves" via Google.

If anybody sells these, or knows where I can find one, I'd appreciate it greatly!

Thanks,

Kevo

Predator makes a very nice sleeve just like you are speaking of. The only thing, there is the predator logo on the flap. But there is nothing cheap looking about these sleeves, though. If I sell someone a high end cue, I usually ship them the cue in one of these sleeves. I usually buy about 6 at a time. They are nice. :)

Lucasi makes them too, from the picture they look about the same as the Predator, but I'm not sure. I can confirm the predator sleeve is quite nice quality, it will hold up for a while.

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the helpful responses. I think this is exactly the type of sleeve I had seen before.

LCCS: Thanks for your kind offer. I just sent you a PM. Let me know if I can return the favor (ie. product photography).

Thanks guys!

I made one for my cue a few years ago out of deer hide suede and it wasnt to hard. I know you just purchased one but it was a lot of fun making one yourself. Its basically a piece of suede folded over and sewn together with leather to create the butt and shaft sleeves. To close the carrier, you just fold the flap down and wrap the remaining leather over the cue a few times. This gives it a little more protection against dings and dents. Here are some pictures if your ever interested in making your own.

i have a gil castillo case and i have to say that it's a hell of a product for the price. hold 2 butts and 3 shafts with HUGE pockets for all my stuff.

gil's also one hell of a nice guy and really easy to deal with. if you're looking for a soft case you really should check out his site and his stuff.
