Minimal A Chestnut Full Grain Leather Notepad Holder (Medium) "They'll Fight Over It When You're Dead"

Dimensions: 13.63" x 10.25"; 2 large paper divider flaps; 1 calculator pocket; 1 business/credit card pocket; Lined with pigskin, which is the 2nd toughest leather. Kangaroo is the toughest. 100% Full Grain leather, not the weaker top grain, genuine or bonded leathers. The leather is smooth, but you won't be rubbing this one on your cheek. I laugh when I hear people talk about how soft and buttery their leather was when they first received it. Basically, the tannery weakened the leather by tumbling it for several extra hours to tear the fibers apart (softening it up). They take years of life out of the leather when they do that. The same concept is done with a meat cleaver on a cut of meat to tenderize it. Firm feel because of a thin sheet of polypropylene sewn into middle of each side. Neoprene layer on each side for comfort and padding. One solid outer piece of leather so it won't fall apart at the seams. Most things come apart at the seams and so the fewer the seams the longer it'll last. Of each hide, about 20% ends up on the floor in the form of small scraps. Some manufacturers quilt together notepad holders out of a dozen scrap pieces. We don't. We use large solid pieces on every design because that's quality.

  • Comfortably fits European A4 sized paper as well as North American 8.5" x 11" and 9" x 12" drawing pads. I made it a little bigger on purpose.
  • Fits notepads from the top and spiral notebooks from the side
  • 100% thick full grain boot leather (but thicker)
  • Slightly wedge shaped pen sheath to fit large or small pens snugly.
  • Lined with pigskin which is even stronger than cow skin
