Looks like a standard lawn set. The case may have been made by a friend.

Any name in particular to this standard set I can begin a search with?
I am getting the feeling that this is a homemade job but to combine the skills of welding/sheet metal AND the fabric foo foo in the same person is a stretch but it does happen.

What red boots?
Are you saying my chess pieces are not sexy enough? I didn't even notice them until you mentioned them.
Any name?.....sorry, not really.....https://www.google.com/search?q=lawn+chess+sets&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS743US743&oq=lawn+chess+sets&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIICAEQABgWGB4yCAgCEAAYFhgeMggIAxAAGBYYHjIICAQQABgWGB4yCAgFEAAYFhgeMgoIBhAAGA8YFhgeMggIBxAAGBYYHjIICAgQABgWGB4yCAgJEAAYFhge0gEINjI4MmowajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
At Maga Chess the pieces are stored in bags. 
I know, not very good. 
Guys the boots are NOT next to the chess pieces but in the background. Perspective. They are not giant chess pieces or lawn pieces, they're normal size pieces closer to the camera. As evidenced in the first post '3" King'
It could be an off-market box that's not made for a chess set. Plastic trays underneath the blue satin sheet.
Not sure, the case may indeed be some kind of professional one made for transporting chess pieces in a setting where the chess set would be transported along other kinds of heavy cased equipment frequently and a leather case would be destroyed after a few voyages. The case probably wasn't sold together with the set though.
The pieces don't strike me as particularly high quality ones, you can see the entry port of the injection mold on a few pieces (eg Queen base, pawn bases) which means they didn't think it would be bad (for the price they're intending to sell it).
I'm really surprised that a plastic set came in such a case as this. It is satin lined, padded, with welded in stainless partitions, latch and a piano hinge.
My friend immediately said German because of the craftsmanship.
Any direction at all would be greatly appreciated. 3" King.
