I just went through this. Here are some of my considerations. Honestly, you may not find your exact specifications. I ended up buying a zippered leather journal cover with a Leuchterm journal for the insert. It cost about $80 for the two, which isn't too bad.

 

Good luck!

All I want is similar dimensions with a similiar leather cover

To be certain, since post #1 you have chosen genuine, and NOT faux, leather?

It's amazing how difficult it is to find a classic looking journal--unlined, leather style cover--for under 30 dollars. I don't want a journal with a lot of pages because I find if easier to handle, and later reference, a comparatively smaller journal. Barnes and Noble's journal in the first photo is great--too bad it does not come with a hardcover.

Gary you are the man! I totally forgot about Papier Plume and I have some of their journals (traditional spine though). I haven't tried the paper yet (I may or may not have a hoarding issue) but, I have read reviews on this forum that shows that they are very fountain pen friendly. No feathering and no bleed. The customer service is great as well, no affiliation....Links below for all who are interested:

If you are willing to spend a couple dollars more, you can have the traditional library binding here:

Faux leather is fine. I'm looking for brown as well.
