Read MoreWe use only the best: full-grain leather, strong pigskin lining and premium marine-grade thread (the kind used on ships sails). Lasts a lifetime - simply switch out a new notebook and keep the worn and patinaed leather journal cover on the new A5 Leuchtturm1917, Moleskine® journals or your choice of planner, journal, or notepad that measures up to 5.5" wide and 8.5" tall. Hardcover journals and planners fit best. Can be used with most similarly sized non-Moleskine or Leuchtturm journals and becomes especially beautiful with age. Recycle the A5 cover for years of journal use. Leather Journal Cover only. Journal not included.
---We are very aware of the controversy of the newer company, Moleskine from 1997, taking the design and functionality of the Leuchtturm1917 and taking it to market in a big and popular way. We call it a Leather Moleskine Cover because it fits both perfectly, plus dozens of other brands and sizes, but we are usually in favor of the original, if they are quality and innovative. We have employees who only use Leuchtturm1917 journals because they like how the pages are each numbered and that they have a table of contents that you can put in there to find notes. It's interesting the controversy. Bottom line, we make quality leather journal and planner covers for quality designs.I am a journal connoisseur. My wife would say I am obsessed, and she has a point as I have a lot of journals. I never liked the Moleskine, as I wanted leather. Then, I ran across Saddleback Leather. A friend bought their briefcase, and I checked out their site. I loved the leather quality, and decided to pick up a journal cover. The design looked weird at first, as the back has an uneven curve. Then, I inserted my hard-backed unlined Moleskine, and I saw the genius of the design. The leather perfectly fits the journal with as much leather coverage without interfering with the elastic strap of the Moleskine. Awesome. My journal search is pretty much over, as this was everything I kept searching for. I wanted a refillable leather journal that could hold a pen and have plenty of pages. I liked their leather quality so much, I pitched in for several other Saddleback Leather products (briefcase, pouch, notepad holder and Bible cover). Each piece has character while still matching (all are dark coffee in color except for my notepad holder). I've had the jorunal cover for a year, now, and it has a lot of character. The cover has already outlasted its first Moleskine journal, and will likely outlast many more. I highly recommend Saddleback for any of your leather products. This is a small company that really cares about what they produce. The quality is second to none.

I own several saddleback products and I like them all. This is my favorite though. Simple, well made, good leather. You might go back and forth between options for other products, but for this one, just get it.

Someone wanted to give me a birthday present and I told them I wanted this particular case from Saddleback. I got it in Carbon Black. I put my large daily planner from moleskine (the hard cover one) in it. I noticed that whenever I would spread out the planner to write, the covers move around from the securing flaps, such that one side would be sticking out more than the other. This could *maybe* also be attributed to the leather being stiff, and the part covering the spine doesn't have much give, but right now it's a bit more uncomfortable than not having a cover at all. Opening and spreading out the planner to write is no trouble usally, but when you start to close it, you'll notice the planner actually shifted around inside the flaps, and you'd have this compulsive need to readjust everytime i.e. sticking the front cover further into the front flap, or else the notebook/planner will be deformed (the front cover of the planner juts out more than the back cover, creating a slant along the edge of the pages instead of all of them nicely lined up together evenly). I'm not sure if it would also be the case for the thinner, weekly format planner, since that would have a thinner spine. Maybe even the soft moleskine planners would be better because it'll be more bendy than the spine, but I have no intention of switching planner formats. Perhaps when I have time I'll post a youtube video of my cover, but for now, I have absolutely no qualms about the quality, the leather is nice and thick, it should be more supple over time, not a stitch out of place. Maybe I'll try removing the front cover of my moleskine from the front flap, or else I'll have to return this for possibly the bible cover and hope for the best.

I have both the small and the medium in chestnut. I've received several comments about the cool journal I carry around. I have to tell them I just use the same cover for many journals. Of course there is the legendary Saddleback quality as well. For any military people who use the "green" notebook NSN 7530-00-222-3521, the medium cover fits this notebook very well. I wish I had one of these covers when I was on active duty. It would have done a great job protecting the many notebooks I used.

I bought the small in Tobacco. I was aware that SB was going to leave in the imperfections but I wasn't expecting this. The notepad is COVERED in what seems to be insect bites. The entire product is speckled with light colored spots. This poor animal must have contracted malaria! I pay a lot for SB products and I want to scratch my own product; not pay for them already marked up. I like the shade of Tobacco, however, it doesn't match the Tobacco color of the ID wallet I ordered at the same time. No more of this color.
