Tanned in the USA from cowhide and embossed with the famous alligator print, our Special Edition Gator line is perfect for those who like the classic exotic look. The leather starts off as 6-8 oz. thick chrome tanned cowhide and is pressed with multiple tons of force with the embossing die. This creates a permanent, dense, surface print that is then hand painted. After pressing the leather is 5.5-6 oz thick, but has a tough, smooth surface. This process ensures that the pattern will never fade or lose its character.

Our Mini Cut Murdy No. 2 Refillable Leather Journal is created for the writer, traveler, office, and everyone else. These beautiful and durable 5-6 oz. full-grain leather journal will serve you well for years to come.

Created around the ubiquitous little black notebook, our cover uses an innovative, in spine binding bar, to allow for any 3.5" by 5.5" notebook refill. Three stainless steel screws hold the insert firmly in place, but allow for replacement with only a Phillips screwdriver. Easily add any refill by following our simple instructions.

Each of our Murdy No. 2 designs will come with a ruled insert pre-installed, and the option to upgrade the insert to one of the many variations of the classic Moleskine brand books. Furthermore, each design comes with a stainless steel and gold trim Parker Jotter.

Our Leather is 5-7oz full grain cowhide, chrome and oil tanned in Milwaukee Wisconsin. It is fully waterproof with a very low water absorption (meaning that liquids bead up and run off the surface).

They are virtually maintenance free and will naturally patina over time from air, sunlight, oils, and other environmental features. Saddle soap can be used to remove dirt and helps condition the leather if that is desired.

All our leather is backed by our 120 year warranty.
