I can't believe he didn't get the obvious "what do you think of JimBo" question.

Thanks Jack for all your interesting answers and stories.

Your cases are a true work of Art.

In exchange, he forfeited the balance of the hide which was enough for 2 additional cases. Others have furnished ostrich, elephant, zebra and even a kangaroo.

So Jack, what if someone were to have an exotic pelt in their possession (for argument, let's say leopard) that used to be an article of clothing (let's say a coat from the '60s), would you be able to use that pelt provided it was in good condition?

I have considered listing the Jimbo Style Zippers on my options list but since I only received to request from Jimbo and Fred I can't justify it at the moment.

Who could??

Hi Barbbara,
Its hard to say without actually examining the piece. Usually the longer hair animals do not do when folded around a tight radius like the case. It causes the hair to stick off in funny directions.
