Here's the thing. Levy's bags are basically a copy of an original Reunion Blues bag. They're very good, but in my experience both Reunion Blues and Glenn Cronkhite make a better bag.

Reunion Blues cases are now made in China. Reunion Blues was created by Glenn Cronkhite. Glenn's new bags are still made in the San Francisco Bay area by many of the original people that made Reunion Blues famous.

Glenn's cases cost less than the imports.

I've owned both the new Reunion Blues and I own 2 Cronkhite bags. If you're looking at Reunion Blues, do yourself a favor and check out the Crokhite.
