Over-the-Top Red hotsell and Black Ninja Goth Steampunk Alligator Leather Journal. With Buckle. Journal, Diary, Sketchbook -- OR?
Presenting: The Over-The-Top Red-and-Black Ninja Goth Steampunk Alligator Leather Journal -- With A Buckle!
It is made using red and black leathers, riveted together. The pages are sewn onto the four black leather pieces that wrap around the spine. The thread is red 4-ply Irish linen thread. Grooves are cut into the black leather, and the linen thread is recessed into those grooves. A close view of this is given in the third picture in the listing. The grooves give a beautiful texture to the spine. The book closes with a buckle, got from an old belt bought in a second-hand store.
This book doesn't just look tough, it is tough.
NOTE: If you purchase this book, it may be a bit bigger than the pictures lead you to expect. I have big hands.
SHIPPING: I ship via USPS Priority Mail, which gets things anywhere in the US in three days, max. International orders typically take a week to ten hotsell days to reach their destination. This book will be shipped wrapped in brown paper, sandwiched between two pieces of stiff cardboard, inside a padded envelope.
