About the service
I sew fabric cases and padded carry bags for tools and equipment, built around the exact item rather than a generic size chart. You can bring the tool in so I can measure it, or I can work from a sample: an old case, a drawing with dimensions, or photographs taken with a ruler in the frame. The shell is a heavy fabric with a water-repellent finish, and the corners and the base get a second layer, because that is where a bag always wears through first.
Inside goes a foam insert cut to the outline of the item, so the body, the handle, the bits and the spare battery each sit in their own bed and nothing rattles while you carry it. Accessories get a soft lining and removable dividers; cables and small parts get zipped and mesh pockets. The zipper is a heavy-duty one with a storm flap over it, so site dust does not settle inside the case.
One thing I say plainly before you order: a fabric case does not replace a rigid transport case where the item is checked into baggage or thrown in the back of a truck. It cushions, it keeps things in order, but it will not take a hard impact for you. For trips like that I add rigid panels into the walls and the base, or sew a cover that goes over your existing hard case. A loaded bag is always picked up by the handle and carried on the strap, so handles and D-rings are stitched with bar tacks onto a reinforced backing, sized for the real loaded weight and not for the weight of an empty bag. I do not make cases for firearms or for anything prohibited.
