Materials used in the construction of cue cases
Oak Tanned Leather - I use one of only two vegetable tanners left in the United States. They provide a great, consistent product that is used by the very best saddle makers and leatherworkers throughout the U.S.
Chrome Tanned Leather - Chrome tanned is a completely different tanning method than vegetable tanning. Chrome Tanning uses Chromium Salts, and the leather wears like iron. This leather cannot be tooled or stamped.
Genuine Linen Thread - Hand sewn cases use only linen thread. Hand sewing uses a saddle stitch, typically used by saddle makers, and provides for a strong consistent stitch.
Bonded Polyester Thread - All cases, unless hand sewn, use #69, #138 and #207 bonded polyester thread. Bonded nylon will not rot like cheaper thread.
Fiebings Dyes and Finishes - Feelings has been making leather dyes and other leather products for over 100 years, and they are MADE IN THE USA. Colors shown below are approximate.
In addition, I also have the following colors of English Bridle Leather Available
