Far and away, the Pocket Oak Harness is our best seller!

This "saddle brown" leather has very rich pull-up and a soft flesh side. This leather is from a local vegetable tannery which hot stuffs it with waxes and oils. The polished surface easily scratches and scuffs but also easily buffs, which all leads to a nice patina.

This leather is "full grain." It's 6 to 7 oz. (2.4 to 2.8 mm) thick to be exact! Full grain leather is much BETTER than the top grain and genuine or bonded leather. Full grain is the most premium and durable cut you can buy. It's the only cut that contains unique markings and scars, making it highly sought after.

Please select the cord color of your choice.
Also if you would like to take advantage of our free engraving (lower front right corner)

A 100% handmade leather journal cover.

Midori-style, Traveler's Notebook system. Perfect for your bullet journals. Full grain fibers run more vertically than other leathers, resulting in superior strength and may hold up to 100 years of use if properly maintained.

We use leather from only North American cattle that has been professionally vegetable tanned right here in the USA. The tanning process includes a hot stuffing with waxes and oils, making it smooth, soft and beautiful.

This is durable leather with rich patinas which better with age.

We hand cut the leather from large hides.
Each piece is unique with different markings.

Here is a glimpse into our process into your unique piece:

- We carefully punch the holes for the binding.
- We trim and burnish the edges by hand, compressing and binding the leather fibers.
- We apply a quality edge finish that gives long lasting protection and a smooth feel.
- We hand string the strong elastic cord and properly tension it.
- We engrave your name or logo on the front cover if desired.
- We package your journal in a nice cotton drawstring bag.
