Hide & Drink, Refillable Journal Cover with Strap for Moleskine Cahier, Large Size (5 x 8.25 in.) Notebook, Rustic Protector, Full Grain Leather, Handmade, Bourbon Brown

I had a trip to Asia and I knew my cardboard cover notebooks would get shredded in my backpack. So I wanted something classy that would also protect them and be nice enough I wouldn't want to leave it behind. This thing is awesome. It was perfect, not too thick, bendy so I could cram it into any pocket where it would fit, and in the end, it looks great. I'm gong to get years of use out of it. Highly recommended.

Great quality. Very soft leather . Fits in back pock of husbands jeans to take notes on the job. Very High quality.

I bought this to use as a cover for my calendar that I carry everyday to keep up with appointments. It is an absolutely beautiful piece. It is beautifully crafted from a very beautiful piece of cow hide leather. The stitching is perfect, and the color it is dyed is a very nice rich brown. I cant wait to get it broken in and for it to start to developers it's own patina. This product is high quality and would definately be worth a higher price tag. Thank you Hide & Drink for a very nice product, I'll definately be back for some additional pieces.

I dinged a half star because it doesn’t have a pen loop. I dinged another quarter star because the bookmark ribbon is a SUPER bulky (I know, I know…they’re going for this artisanal thing, but they shouldn’t be) woven plaid cloth thing. Finally I knocked off one last quarter star because the leather is the kind designed to develop a patina. You may want this if you happen to, for some reason, like patina. I’m not so crazy about patina. I’ve applied all kinds of leather balms and creams to minimize the nicks and scuffs and that helps…somewhat. That said, it’s a great quality leather cover for all of your A5 journals. Highly recommend.

I used the with the cahier journals. I have many leather journals and cases , most of the florentine ones are garbage now and made in italy to cheapo Chinese standards. These are made with American leather by American craftsman in America. Sure its Central America but it better to work with our neighbors than buy stuff from 1/2 across the globe from a place that dumps trash in the ocean and rivers, fills their cities with smog, uses slave labor, and oppresses and censors like it going out of style!!! I know JB loves them but come on man. There is no better to destroy the environment than dealing all these goods from such a toxic place.. BUT i love cheap stuff too !!! so thanks for offing this great product but also the stuff from over "there" . I still care a little about the environment and slavery but not enough stop buying tons of stuff from dealer ... Thanks Amazon!!!!

I wanted something soft, thin and nice to house my Moleskin journal books which I use for business -- and go through at a rapid pace. Doesn't take up much room in my bag, looks and feels great, and I can use it over and over again. And now I don't have to have a mountain-high stack of marked-up journals in my cabinet. The soft cover moleskins are perfect.

I have purchased at least 20 items from Hide & Drink and each time I am impressed with their quality and construction. The leather is legitimate and the quality is very high. If you are considering buying a H&D product, DO IT!

Hide & Drink, always good.

Really love this cover. Exaclty what I wanted...only down side is also an upside...as promoted its a perfect fit for the Cahier notebook from Moleskine...so other size notebooks may or may not fit.

Nice but does not fit the advertised ,moleskin notebook

Está muy bonita, algo que debe recalcarse es que es específicamente para Moleskine de tapa blanda. Si le tratas de meter cualquier otra no va a entrar, mucho menos de otra marca, en último caso solo si es más pequeña. Es justa para el tamaño de tapa blanda Moleskine de la medida que se señala. En el caso de la Tapa dura Moleskine, de esa misma medida, queda muy forzada sobre todo de las costuras de la misma funda y se puede dañar. Por lo demás: llegó muy rápido, mucho antes de la fecha señalada. Es muy bella y de mucha calidad.

Really nice leather. Sturdy and exactly as expected!

Definitely gonna buy a couple more of these leather covers, for hardcover A5 notebooks.. They are durable, good leather, great canadian price and the bonus is, "it supports the Native Artisans and community peoples." That is what sold me , on making the purchase. In the photo ... I am using a soft cover Moleskine A5 ,400 pages Classic expanded notebook.. Yeah it took some patient adjustments...but it does fit nicely and will be my EDC book. I am thankful to the artisans who made this beautiful leather works, and hope they continue to bless the consumers, with more of their works of art.
