I love this
I love my journal. Easy 5 stars.<br /><br />Great work, great leather, the custom stamp I ordered is perfect, “USA” — these folks are also an American made company.<br /><br />I feel good about this purchase because, with good care, I will be able to pass this on when I one day die — just like my wallet, watch, money clip, coin bag, etc.  This journal is a most worthy inclusion to what I have from my life. 🤠<br /><br />I don't know how to break in leather.  The pen holder arrives very tight, I am able to loosen it up with bigger pens & a bit of almond oil, but I research food oil is not so great to use... is WD-40 accurate to use?  I also add a bit of sinew of my own to a pen of my own to make it easy taking my pen out — I enjoy this looks.<br /><br />I ordered this one with pen.  This pen breaks in shipping.  I mention this & I am given instantly a refund.  I'd give this 6 stars because of this.  Would do business again.<br /><br />Take care!
