Speedy West made Lloyds case and gave it to him several years ago.
I had always wanted one but wasn't sure where it came from. A couple of days ago, I stumbled onto this and confirmed it with Lloyd this is the case. It is the perfect size for bar and picks. It comes unfinished and un-tooled.

| I have been looking around, locally, for one of these for years. I use a cloth one, but leather is so much cooler-looking. Thanks! |

I have a leather one very similar to the one pictured on the web site. The only difference is that mine has a tooled flower on both sides. I have no idea where or just when I got it. I'll try to post a pic later.

How much making do you have to do? They look ideal but I don't fancy myself doing stitching!

Roger,
I think that is the plastic lanyard chord we use to use for crafts as kids that you stitch it with - pretty simple. There is a video link on the page the OP linked - it shows you how to make it. It is just plain leather unless you have stamps or some other way to tool the leather.

Thanks, Douglas - maybe I'll risk it.

You can do it Roger, summer camp stuff, really, if they have camp in England.
Then you could get you some leather tools and have a nice little cottage industry. "Lloyd Green's Bar and Pick Case."
Shouldn't be hard to find a pedal steel die.
