► A Note on Leather

Oil-waxed full grain is treated with natural oils and waxes, giving it a rich, aged character that deepens with handling. Natural grain, subtle color variation, and marbling are hallmarks of genuine leather, not flaws — every journal is one of a kind and will develop a deeper patina the more it's used.

► Combination Lock & Privacy Cover

The brass lock features three rolling dials for 1,000 possible code combinations (default code is 000 — reset it to your own combination before use). A full leather flap sits beneath the lock, wrapping over the top and bottom edges of the pages for an extra layer of privacy protection.

► Complimentary Engraving

Every journal includes one free laser engraving — up to 10 characters or a small design of your choice. Leave your engraving request in the order notes at checkout. A paid custom brass-stamp embossing service is also available for more intricate personalization — contact us for details and pricing.
