I've been down with the flu the past few days and my good wife obtained a copy of the recent Gray's Sporting Journal to help me avoid a total melt-down while trapped in bed. In GSJ is an article written by Terry Wieland on a leather artisan named Jim Wear. I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Wear at the ACGG Expo in Reno a few weeks ago. He was kind enough to spend some time with me and share his philosophy on how to craft a proper gun case. I recall being mesmerized by all the attention to detail and highly detailed work that went into one of Mr. Wear’s fine gun cases. There is no aspect of his cases that are not custom created by Mr. Wear himself.
I highly recommend the article. Furthermore, I can think of no one more qualified to craft the appropriate case and related accouterments for your highly prized London Best gun or an equally cherished custom from the bench of Steven Dodd Hughes. It is my humble and unqualified opinion that Mr. Wear is without peer in this matter. I hope you enjoy Mr. Wear’s work as much as I.

I know and like Jim and am having him fit a Alex Henry best quality double and with all its toys that go with it to an original Henry case. I will post picks upon completion.

I have searched both the Gray's Sporting Journal website and searched for Jim Wear on the Internet, and can't find any contact information for him. Jeff, do you know how to reach him?
