Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo Leather Cover (Natural)A5 Size (fits Large 5-Year Techo)

    Specially made as the cover of the Large Hobonichi 5-Year Techo, Natural is made of tanned cow leather that changes color over time as the leather ages.



    The covers were created to protect the book you’ll carry with you for 5 years. It will conform nicely to your hands over time, and you’ll enjoy its classic look for years to come.



    The front of the cover is cleanly imprinted with the name Hobonichi 5-Year Techo.







    The bottom left interior of all the covers are also imprinted with the Hobonichi logo to enhance the feel of the leather and keep the design nice and simple.







    Inside the cover on the right-hand side is a pen hook that can store a pen by its clip. The pen hook has a diameter of 8mm and will not fit pens with extra-wide clips.







    The inside of the leather cover spine has undergone a leathercraft process called “skiving” to provide a perfect fit.







    Because the cover uses a firm leather, the front cover may rise from the book in the beginning due to a tight fit. Over continued use, the cover will break in to lay flat with the book. The leather’s character and color deepens over time for a transformation that’s a joy to watch. We recommend waterproof spray and other leather care goods for users who would like to protect their covers and keep the leather clean.

    The Hobonichi Techo leather covers are made with all-natural materials that have their own unique appearance. Every leather cover is a one-of-a-kind, all-natural product, so you can feel good knowing your cover is the only one like it in the world. Here are some of the unique characteristics you can expect to find.



    - Markings that naturally occur during an animal’s life:

    Wrinkles, veins, texture, and scratches







    - Characteristics from the manufacturing process of natural leather:

    Dark spots (occurs when components of the leather are exposed to iron in the air during the tanning and dyeing process)

    About the pen hook

    The pen hook of this cover is designed to hold a pen by its clip.

    Leather may contain preexisting wrinkles and marks

    In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks.
    Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.

    Each leather piece has a unique look

    This product uses leather with a highly distinctive character. The appearance of the leather varies depending on which part of the hide is used, so each item will have a one-of-a-kind expression. Please note that the pattern or texture may differ from what is shown in the product images.
