Excellent Craftsmanship!
I rarely write a review, but given how nice this is, I want to offer thanks to whoever designed and made it.  First, and this is a rarity, the product description and all details of this diary cover, precisely match the product I received!  The hand stitched, oiled thick leather, without any blemishes or adornments is exactly what I wanted.  I wouldn't need a dairy cover, were it not for the need to have a loop to keep my pen handy; this one is sturdy and large enough to accommodate my preferred Pentel RSVP.  I have inserted my current Moleskin Classic 5" x 8.25" journal into this and and it fits perfect.  Yes, it is a tiny bit snug for the moment, but like all leather, it will soften over time.  Finally, it arrived nicely packaged in a precisely wrapped paper with a neatly tied waxed string; akin to that which you'd receive at a high end retailer.  This will accompany me and document my travel journeys for years to come.  When I'm done, it be passed on as a well worn keepsake, to one of my children or grandchildren, to record theirs.
