Not sure what the ST120V actually is?

It says “Tweed Type” in the description and it says the ST180 is Tweed.

Wondering if it’s a fake sort of print on paper or some sort of vinyl that looks like tweed? I have one of those that came with a guitar from Japan but it’s not a Tokai case.

Might be tolex with tweed print instead of actual tweed fabric.
I’ve never seen examples of the tweed type/tweed for sale. I have have two of the brown tolex with pink inside, nice looking cases.

Looks like the ST120V tweed case has a different storage compartment than the ST180 tweed case. See pics in catalog of ST180 showing center neck support, and tab for compartment access in center.
