There are a couple of good groups on facebook with lots of folk that can do amazing things with leather. I stay away from Chris Davis though. Couldn't get him answer an email and when I purchased one of his items I wasn't happy with it. This is currently what I am lusting after:

I will second the suggestion of One Star Leather. I have no affiliation, I am just a happy repeat customer.

 

I have an older version of the "park sloper" which originally included a space pen but I found it also fits a Cross Classic Century FP perfectly. This combo almost never leaves my side. I go through a FN notebook about once every 3-4 weeks. It seems the newer model has a larger pen sleeve and may fit other pens as well.

The Adventurer looks good. I'd welcome your thoughts on it when you receive it :)

No problem; should be early next week. I've also got the VIP style one, also for pocket-sized Moleskine and this is fabulous with the soft-cover notebooks I now favour. Classic.

I would be interested to know what type of cover you are looking for and if you don't mind what do you mean by full grain leather ?

Having looked at the suggestions Of mud and coal seems to be very good value for money, but only if you want a cover that also acts as a wallet.

For more details on my current projects please visit my blog.

I'm looking for one that allows you to slip the back cover of the field notes into a slot/pocket in the leather cover, with a pocket(s) on the opposite side for business cards, receipts, etc. Made from 5oz to 8oz top/full grain leather. Something that will last at least 10 years...and look better as it ages.

 

Hmmm...I wonder if Saddleback Leather makes one?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
