~Description~
We have made this journal from a natural, vegetable tanned, full grain leather. This leather comes to us in pristine condition and we put it through various dying and staining techniques to give it a distressed look. We've gone for the look of a beaten up old flying jacket for this one. We finish the rustic look by leaving the natural edge of the hide on the wraparound flap, each one of these will be unique, some will have quite a straight edge, some will have a bit of a slant and some will be irregular. As it is the natural edge of the leather you might even find small scars, cuts or even holes on this edge. You can see in the images how much they can vary. This is the sort of journal that you can throw in your rucksack without worrying too much about it. The wraparound cover encloses the paper and is held in place with thonging that we make from the same leather, this forms a pen loop on the inside of the front flap.
Its rugged nature makes this a great travel journal to take on your adventures. It also makes a perfect 3rd wedding anniversary gift (leather).
~Size & Binding~
22cm x 15cm x 3cm (8.5 x 6 x 1.25 inches)
Approximately 250 pages (500 sides) of A5 sized, unlined, recycled, paper.
The pages in this book are hand bound using a strong waxed cord. No glue is used, so the spine of the book cannot be broken, our binding is strong and permanent.
~Paper~
Our paper is 100% recycled and is a natural, off-white, oatmeal colour. It has a matt appearance, is slightly textured and it takes most fountain pens without 'bleeding'.
It's of archival quality which is great if you're planning on leaving your words for future generations!
~Personalisation~
We have two options for personalisation on this journal. We can print a name, initials, date, inscription, or any other text that you can think of on the first paper page inside. Or, we can add a personalised pen loop with up to four initials which slips onto the wrap cord. Either option is free but if you would like both then there is an extra charge.
