Just got that email as well and that's the conclusion I have come to. Same cases. Similar prices. Not exact but close enough I won't feel ripped off.

how was the transaction. how is the case? I have queried them a bit. They are specific....they have taken over the business Jeff had....mailing list and product sourcing and the cases are effectively the same cases made in the same place.

I have queried them a bit.... Did you happen to ask them if they ship to Canada, and which carrier(s) they use? Because I'd buy one or two of their canvas motor cases, at those prices, if they shipped via US Postal Service.

I purchased a leather compact case from Venatti this week, it arrived in 3 days from Texas. The construction is almost identical to a Jeff’s case. The leather is more like a suede rather than a hard leather finish, I like the soft look, it looks more luxurious. I don’t think it can be beat for the money.

Can you describe the cloth used in the interior?

Because I'd buy one or two of their canvas motor cases, at those prices, if they shipped via US Postal Service. Fudd, you have to call and speak directly to them. Their website is not set uP for international. But they are very happy to take the order. A word of caution. They are going to want to ship FedEx. My experience with FedEx for importing product has not been good. Lots of fees and the shipping isn't cheap either. I was planning to try to convince them to use USPS for Canada. Fast enough, no import fees...simply duty (should be none, made in Mexico) and taxes. SXS 40, I got the last ammo case Jeff's had in September. I think it has the same leather you got. It's fantastic. I also bought his last case in the old style leather. Not nearly so nice but the price was right.

Thanks. Hard to say this without sounding like I'm putting you down, and I really do not intend to, but a pic doesn't adequately express quality. I have been told by a close friend that the quality of the cloth in Jeff's Mexican cases is poor .......... nowhere near that of an Emmebi or other best quality case. Just repeating what i've been told, not personal experience.

At the price, these are definitely not “best quality” cases, they are after all made in Mexico. I would say the cloth quality is in keeping with something made in Mexico. They serve the purpose well. No offense taken.🙂
