"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..."

Over 200 years ago, the Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence, declaring the thirteen colonies' independence from Great Britain and laying the foundation for a new nation. Their brilliance, together with the courage and sacrifice of countless brave men and women throughout our country’s history, has helped shape one of the most prosperous nations in history.

Deeply laser etched into the front of these full-grain leather binders is the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence—a lasting tribute to the principles of freedom and the enduring spirit upon which our country was founded.

Our Patriotic collection seeks to uphold the iconography that has been a statement of our American traditions. These beautiful and durable full-grain leather binders, journals, and folios will serve you well for years to come.

Our Mini Cut Refillable Leather Journal is designed to hold a 3.5"x5.5" hardcover bound journal insert. Each one comes with an insert and Stainless Steel Parker Jotter Ballpoint Pen. Premium inserts are Moleskine brand notebooks.

Our Classic Cut Refillable Leather Journal is designed to hold a 5"x8.25" hardcover bound journal insert. Each one comes with an insert and Stainless Steel Parker Jotter Ballpoint Pen. Premium inserts are Moleskine brand notebooks.

Our Metric Cut Refillable Leather Journal is designed to hold a 5.75"x8.25" A5 hardcover bound journal insert. Each one comes with an insert as well as a Stainless Steel Parker Jotter Ballpoint Pen. Premium inserts are Leuchtturm1917 brand notebooks.

Our Ledger Cut Refillable Leather Journal is designed to hold a 9.75"x7.5" hardcover bound journal insert. Each one comes with an insert as well as a Stainless Steel Parker Jotter Ballpoint Pen. Premium inserts are Moleskine brand notebooks.

Our 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. Laser engrave an inscription into the front cover or add a spine engraving.

Created around the ubiquitous little black notebook, our covers use an innovative, in spine binding bar, to allow for notebook refills. 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.

About Our Leather

Our leather is 6–8 oz. full-grain cowhide, chrome and oil tanned in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Infused with a natural wax blend throughout the hide, it is waterproof, low in water absorption, and virtually maintenance-free. Liquids bead up and roll off rather than soaking in.

Our leather will naturally develop a rich patina over time through exposure to air, sunlight, natural oils, and everyday use. If needed, it can be cleaned with a soft, damp microfiber cloth, while saddle soap can be used to remove heavier dirt and help condition the leather. Thanks to the leather’s natural oils and waxes, most light surface scratches can simply be buffed out using the warmth of your finger.

As a natural material, each piece is one of a kind and may feature unique markings and characteristics.

All our leather is backed by our 120 year warranty.
