Our leathers are USA tanned, premium full-grain cowhides chosen for their rustic yet beautiful character.
Due to the nature of the authentic leather hides, there will always be variation and uniqueness from one journal to the next.
Each hide will have some degree of "pull-up," which refers to color variation where the leather is creased or bent; which gives the rustic and distressed appearance. Pull-up creases go away with rubbing the leather with a cloth or by hand.
