HOBONICHI TECHO 2018

LeatherBasic TS - BlackA5 Size (fits Cousin)

TS stands for the initials of the Hobonichi Techo's designer Taku Satoh, who produced this standard black leather cover. In addition to designing the techo book, Satoh has worked with Hobonichi for many years on a variety of products. This soft leather cover is one of them, and was first released in 2009, making this the 10th year the Basic TS Black has been featured in the Hobonichi Techo cover lineup.

The fine texture of the matte cow leather is soft from the first time you use it, and fits comfortably in your hands. The sleek design matches perfectly in both business and personal settings.

Please Read Before You Buy

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 there may be slight differences.

Leather may contain preexisting 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 stains. We ask for your understanding for these naturally-occurring characteristics of genuine leather.

Leather coloring stains

Dyed leather products tend to leave stains. 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 from water or sweat from your hands.

Glossy leather does not age like tanned leather

Unlike tanned leather, glossy leather does not visibly age and change over time.

Immediately dry the product if it gets wet

Immediately dab the product 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 atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower product quality and color stains. Please use caution when storing.

Sliding no-slip pens into the pen holder

Pens with rubber, non-slip grips may be difficult to slide into the pen holder.

Maximum pen width of 13.5mm 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 Japanese-version 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.

Not for use with 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.

Color may vary slightly based on viewing screen

The color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.

Interior of cover may be loose

The interior of the cover may not be perfectly taut due to limitations during the manufacturing process.

About TS Black leather

Due to the especially soft nature of the cow leather to keep it pleasant to the touch, the leather exterior may be affected by the cover’s interior materials and display an uneven or slack appearance.
