Please Read

In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

All covers are hand-made and may contain slight variances

Each and every cover is individually sewn by a factory worker hand-operating a sewing machine. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but as these products are hand-made, covers are not made as exact copies.

Leather covers may contain wrinkles and marks

In order to allow customers the enjoyment of all-natural leather, the leather is processed in a way that retains its original feel. This may leave imperfections visible on the surface of the cover, such as wrinkles, scratches, stains, or vein marks. Depending on the conditions in which the cover is used, natural oils of the leather may emerge and appear as wrinkles.
We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.

Leather coloring stains

Dyed leather products tend to leave stains until the dye has worn into the leather upon use. Please be careful not to allow the leather to adhere or rub against other objects such as clothing or other belongings, especially if the cover is wet.

Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

Hobonichi Techo covers come with pen holders that keep the pages shut. Depending on the material of the cover, pens with rubber grips may be difficult to slide into the holder.

Maximum pen width for pen holder

The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free bonus gift with select Hobonichi Web Shop products. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5mm (0.53”) in diameter.

Manufactured for less aging

The TS Black cover uses chrome-tanned cow leather, which undergoes less aging than vegetable-tanned covers. The texture of the cover will remain the same over prolonged use.

If your cover gets wet

Immediately dab your cover with a dry cloth if it gets wet. Avoid drying it with high temperatures, and place it in a well-ventilated place in the shade.

Avoid storing in hot and humid places

Please avoid storing your cover in hot, humid places or placing it on potentially adhesive substances for long periods of time as this may result in lower product quality and color stains. Please use caution when storing.

Cover on Cover

The PVC plastic of the Cover on Cover contains plasticizer additives which may cause a reaction in the leather dye and affect the color and quality of the leather cover. Please refrain from using the Cover on Cover with this product.

Caring for your leather cover

These covers are very delicate, so please use caution when maintaining them. Gently wiping your cover with a soft, dry cloth once in a while will be sufficient. For removing stains and other routine care to extend the life of your leather, we recommend using the Leather Care Goods available in the Hobonichi Store. Hobonichi has partnered with R&D Co., Ltd. to provide customers with critically-acclaimed leather care products.
