Close to completion pictures:
John put a lot of efforts to come up with this design as I wanted something which is simple looking and yet allow me to bring my cue case around easily as I rely on public transport to move around Singapore.
The pockets are the same as the ones used in the Sterling Wave cases except that this is the first time that John is doing the pockets in leather.
I personally like the pockets on the Sterling Wave cases and I was trying my luck to have it for my custom case. Instead of refusing, John requested for some time to do some testing and he managed to make that happen.
The case is a 3x6 and I will follow up with more pictures once I get the case.
Many thanks to John for making so many concessions on his side to get this case done.
He is indeed a top notch guy with great customer service. I will be placing another order once a few more cues comes in.

Hunter,
Thank you for posting this. I am afraid that I have lost my photo album of all my early work.
That case was done as one of five that I presented to a German distributer. It it the precursor to the "Cowboy" line that came out a year or so later.
I did all the embroidery myself and made the pattern for the case. The logo on top was drawn by hand by me on each case in a different spot and then I would embroider over my drawing using the zig-zag function on the sewing machine.
For the embroidered lines I would take two pieces of material and put them end to end and sew them together with a bridge piece underneath.
Then I would embroider over the seam so that the seam could be as flat as possible. On this case I had just purchased a new Pfaff sewing machine with computerized patterns. So, for the five cases that were to go to the distributor I chose five different patterns. One diamonds, one scallops, and so on. The machine did the pattern but I had to guide the material and keep it straight while it was fed into the machine with my foot on the gas so to speak.
I would have been 21 or 22 when I did this case.
It really brings back a lot of memories of that first workshop in the basement.
Thank you again!
John
