Whitten not taking orders

I ordered mine around Labor Day '21 and it arrived on new year's eve '21. I paid the extra $150 for the 4 month delivery versus the regular delivery that at that time was going to be Nov '22. My case was brown leather with genuine ostrich. Beautiful case. If you were looking for something from him I would call to confirm details and if he still does his quicker turnarounds for the extra fee. He was very easy to deal with versus most others.

I already have my case from Dad. I was looking to get another one done, I guess I’m screwed on that now.
I have a custom Whitten case I ordered in 2019, completely bespoke, including the arrangement of the tubes. Joe's work, attention to detail, and customer service are of the highest caliber. I can see why he would not want to endanger the standard he has achieved by hiring outside help. I'm also very happy for him that he has garnered such demand, it is well deserved.
Great to see a US case maker getting this much support.
I miss the Whitten I sold a few years ago. Big mistake.

Good luck hiring someone nowadays!
I love my Whitten case. I keep my best cues in it in the closet.
It’s one of the older Whitten’s and it is a bit heavy and you need to load spacers in the tubes depending on shaft length.
My everyday case is a JB rugged.

If you want a Whitten you can order a Ginacue and it will be delivered in a Whitten 
And training them for all the detailed hand and machine work required for this specialized craft.
