I'm not a Steeler fan but I like the color combination. Very sharp. IMO

Are you a Broncs fan? If you are, I am a Bolts fan.. see you Sunday...:) Got one in blue/yellow inlay some lightning bolts and I am in..

The design and concept is great. I'll just change the colors that I prefer.

Those are really refreshing new designs. :thumbup: Who's the case maker?

Hope you don't mind me is saying this... I don't like the Stilletos (feet of the other cases above). Just too long for a case.

Merry X'mas!!!

Thanx,

Bears 1st then the Broncos. We have to go to your home, could be trouble for us. We have been pretty good on the road but
the Chargers remember THAT call! The other thing is Cutler was short on 15 of his last 17 passes against the Bills in the last 2 qtrs, maybe his diabeties was not taken care of properly. Either way I will be glued to the TV, you too it sounds like. Good luck and may the best team win. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Maybe Bears vs Chargers in Super Bowl, we should be so lucky!
 
those are some beautiful cases, very very nice,even the one that looks like a yellow jacket but its a little too loud for me

I would like tan color instead of yellow. But the color on this one really pops. Still a beatiful case.
 
Ok guys whats the verdict on this case(for snooker cues I believe)? I have mixed feelings about the upper and lower pockets being the same size. The owner who ordered this case obviously found this configuration to be functional for his needs...again it's great to see some new, and fresh designs...:thumbup: I want to hear some opinions...

Don't know but that's a really crazy picture there with the leopard couch, against the victorian print wallpaper and what looks like an autumn landscape - quite a clash to the snakeskin print case.

As for the case - whatever floats your boat - when I owned Instroke we sold many cases with wild patterns on them. The best was the black leather with the pink polka dots on it.

I told my partner if it didn't sell in a year then he had to buy it. Just a few days shy of one year someone actually bought it with no discount.

As for Erofey's designs, they are fresh and you can clearly see the influence from his purse designs. One thing I like is that he has a lot of elements on the case that allow for all kinds of contrast. The black and yellow one above shows that clearly. Any of those pieces can be any color so the range of combinations is unlimited.

I don't know if any of you remember what it was like when we used to show up at shows with about a hundred Instroke Limited cases. The cowboy pattern that is so common now wasn't so common back then in the mid to late 90s. We would show up with an explosion of colors and patterns. About a month or two before each show I would go to the leather brokers and buy dozens of skins in various patterns. These were all leathers that were left over from the production runs of furniture manufacturers in Germany and they would sell off the excess.

That's what Erofey's cases remind me of. The patterns are fresh and they lend themselves to stunning and wild combinations.

Snowmon, trust me, you will never get a consensus on anything but blacks, browns, and dark tans as to what looks good. But if you take a chance and order some wild ones you will always find a buyer. Some of the Instroke Limiteds we made were pretty out there but they always found a home.

Your right John most want to see fairly reserved colors, and styles, but it's fun to show some different options..I just wanted to show a little flair...I appreciate, and value your opinion...

Dale - have you got any kind of option info, web site, etc on the cases, and what's the lead time?
John, I've got an old German Instroke LTD. Still probably the favorite of all my cases - just wish it had been made a little longer, kind of a tight fit w/ jp's & wouldn't take a radial pin at all. Great, multiple leathers!
