Ever thought it would be nice to have a note pad to jot down some notes, write out some personal thoughts, create a list of to-dos, or simply journal some life experiences?  The Carson Letter Journal is a perfect companion for you or a gift for a loved one.

This journal cover is made from Wickett & Craig English Bridal Leather.  Founded in 1867, Wickett & Craig is a world premiere vegetable tannery. When looking for the absolute finest leather, there is Wickett & Craig.

Hand Saddle Stitch is a stitching method where each hole in the leather is first chiseled.  The saddle stitch involves using one long thread with a needle on both ends and can take many hours to complete. The stitching is all done by hand and the result is a beautiful stitch that will last a life time.  We use Ritza Tiger, imported from Germany. This lightly waxed thread is UV resistant, durable, braided polyester with a high breaking strength. When hand-sewing, Ritza Tiger Thread will lie flat against the leather, allowing for even more durability.

The Carson leather journal includes the original 48 page Kraft Field Notes Memo Book.  Each Original Kraft memo book measures 3-1/2″ wide by 5-1/2″ tall and is bound by a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch process.  Kraft Memo books are readily available for replacement and come in Ruled, Graph, or Plain paper.
