The leather used for journal cover is manufactured by Horween Leather Company. Horween's leathers are made using the same techniques as generations ago, with only minor modern applications applied. Horween Dublin is a bovine leather with pullup effect - leather becomes lighter in color when you bent or fold it because oils and greases are displaced.
Full grain is the upper layer of the cow's skin, it is the strongest part of the hide. This leather type may include natural marks; these may be scars, wounds, stretch marks, fly bites etc.
For more personal touch you can add logo, quote or initials to the cover.
Initials are embossed using Arial font UPPER CASE- 7mm high; lower case 5mm high and are placed in bottom right corner on the front of the journal.
For logo engraving, please, send your file in vector format.
Embossed/engraved items cannot be refunded.
Basically, leather is trillions of interwoven fibers. The closer you get to the surface, the smaller and denser become those fibers. Hence, the top layer is the strongest and the most durable cut one can buy. The term “Full Grain” is used to define that top, uppermost layer of the cow hide which was not sanded or polished.
When we speak about leather, obviously it needs to be preserved before it can be used for crafting and making goods. Vegetable tanning is actually the way leather hide is preserved. This method is one of the many possible, but its distinctive feature is in all-natural technique. Hides are soaked in certain tubs filled with natural solutions, like tree bark.
These extracts are dense, and when they bind to the hide, they fill in the gaps in the fibers. By filling these gaps the leather becomes even more durable and tight. After that, it is finished with a combination of transparent waxes and oils, which gives the leather a very soft feel. Every piece made of vegetable tanned leather has unique shades and nuances, which are a mark of genuineness.
So, by now you know a bit more about full grain leather production and its tanning. We touched upon natural extracts and wax&oil finish so you can understand what is so called “pull-up”.
When full grain leather is stretched or pulled, the color migrates and becomes lighter in the pulled areas. Hence the term pull-up.
Basically, it happens because oils and waxes are displaced on the surface by a movement of the material. It is a characteristic of natural tanning processes.
Other characteristics to take note of are wrinkles. As full grain leather is not sanded during production it preserves its natural look.
Normally, the cow has wrinkles where the skin was bent, like on the neck, near legs etc.
These wrinkles are not removed on purpose. They show that leather is correctly processed full grain top hide.
Same as wrinkles, scars on leather hide are also preserved. During its life the animal may get scratches, insects bites or small wounds. As a result of natural healing there remains a scar.
After the hide is separated from the flash, these marks are left untouched as required by the technology.
