How to Buy
How to buy and customise your journal.
Pick your size
Three sizes to choose from — A6 (Pocket), B6 (Sketch) or A5 (Bag) — so the cover fits how you actually carry it.
Choose your leather
Burgundy or Dark Green, vegetable-tanned and built to soften and age with you.
Pick your hardware & finish
Gold, Silver, Bronze or Stone grommets, a cord in Black, Blue or Brown, and stitching to match or contrast.
Customise your pockets
A pen loop, an open pocket for cards, or keep it simple — chosen independently for left and right.
Choose your paper
Lined, Grid or Blank inserts, included with every cover.

The Leather
What type of leather do we use?
Meet Lamport Shoulder, the leather behind every Self Study cover.
Italian-Tanned
Finished by hand in an Italian tannery, from hides of cattle raised on French pasture — traced back to source.
Full Grain
The strongest, most durable layer of the hide, left unaltered so every natural mark and grain shows through.
Vegetable-Tanned
Tanned with natural bark and plant extracts instead of chemicals — the traditional, slower way.
Aniline-Dyed
Dyed through with soluble dyes for a deep, consistent colour that only gets richer with age.
