Wow! I have been looking for a nice cover for my Moleskines and I found it!
I was using a Moleskine to take notes last Saturday and it had me thinking again about ordering a leather cover for it. I have a nice, wallet-sized leather cover for my Field Notes books (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KGMDJQJ), but hadn't found anything nice for my 250-page Moleskines. I found this one on Amazon and after reading the reviews, took a chance. I chose the embossed name option, the optional pen holder, the 250-page A5 Journal size, and paid extra for express processing and shipping; for a grand total of $56.  That's a real bargain! Especially for such a high-quality, real-leather cover.<br /><br />I ordered it on Saturday, Jan 23 and it arrived today, Friday Jan 29. That is super fast for a customized item made in and shipped from China! Great Job D&M Leather Studio!!<br /><br />The leather is very high quality and the Notebook fits perfectly in it. The notebook I am using is a 250-page "Exceed" that I got from the big-box store based in Arkansas, with the initials "WM" and the yellow asterisk logo. It is the exact same size as the 250-page Moleskine, but has higher-quality paper and costs 1/4 the price of a Moleskine.<br /><br />The pen sleeve that they sent with it fits my Cross Contour pen, which is a little on the fat-side. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016PNN7U) so I'm sure it will fit any pen you choose to use with it as long as it isn't morbidly obese. The cover itself has enough room for a pen to fit behind the spine of the notebook when it's closed, so you don't really need to optional pen holder, but I like it and recommend it.<br /><br />The pictures show how well it matches the Field Notes cover that I bought last year (linked above in my review), but if you want a perfect match, D&M Leather Studio makes what appears to be an equally nice Field Notes cover that would go perfectly with this journal cover (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JAIK7SW). Overall I am very happy with it and glad I bought it.
