Order a case and you can have that detail from us.

Have you ever tried making a gun holster John? My good friend's dad, makes knives from scratch. The only part he doesn't do himself is forge the steel. He's been making the knives and the sheaths for his knives for about 10-15 years now. He once tried a holster, (ironically for his very nice 1911.) and just couldn't quite get the dimensions right. Tough stuff, forming leather.

as always, nice case!

It's easy to form leather. Not tough at all. But like with everything there are methods which make life easier. If you're going to make just one of something or doing it for the first time then it's not likely you will get it right the first time.

But I was referring to a cue case and saying you can have tooling as detailed as the picture you showed if you order one.

Here is an example of formed leather we did last year.

Still one of my favorite Cases. I will someday. Pry a year or two out though. Unless your looking to sponsor some D and E players... ;)
 
What "type" of leather is the dark brown?


Part of my issue with ordering my next case is I can't decide which to get first. Partly because I want something I can take in the heavy rain and not care about.

The oil tan wasn't that for me. I didn't want to get spots on the leather but I really liked the feel.

I like this dark dark brown leather though and it looks pretty rugged like the oil tan almost.

It is veg tan. You can treat any leather and it will be fine in rain. Water spots on leather are not caused by water. They are the minerals in the water left over when the water evaporates. Because leather is porous those minerals are stuck in the pores. To prevent this all you have do is simply wipe your case down and dry it off whenever it gets wet.

And to prevent water from soaking into the leather just treat it with any number of easily available water repellents made specifically for leather.

Remember leather has been used by humans for thousands of years. Cow and buffalo leather built the USA as it was used in more applications than we can count and in all weather.

Vet tan cowhide is the #1 leather for saddles.

If I get a case in oil tan can you treat it prior to shipping?

I was always a bit scared to take it in the pouring rain honestly.

Oil Tan - (actually veg tan inundated with a high oil content) requires no special treatment. It is highly water repellent because of the oil content. I will do a short video on this later and link to it.

PLEASE oh man thank you so much.

I still want to get two cases eventually but the butterfly will definitely come second now that I know that.

I'll message you on Facebook in a bit when I get home to see if you can give me a quote.
