Absolutely beautiful piece of leatherwork
Oleksyn takes great pride in his products. This journal will last a lifetime. He uses genuine HORWEEN DUBLIN leather, which is arguable the best tannery known to man. The leather ages well, and each scratch/mark that you make on it makes it uniquely your own. His customer service alone deserves 5 stars. The journal itself is a work of art. Gucci, Tumi, and any other so-called leathermaker do not hold a candle to this Oleksyn's craftmaship. You will be proud to had this down to the next generation.<br /><br />Make sure you pick up some quality leather conditioner and use it along the spine, as well as the inside flaps that hold the journal, to make sure the leather stays soft and supple. This leather has a &#34;pull-up&#34; effect, meaning it will show marks fairly easily. That is the beauty of Horween Dublin leather, and after you condition it, it looks like you've had it for ages, handed down from your great grandfather who jotted notes in it during World War 2.
