Hand tooled Custom leather book cover with buckle closure

This beautiful custom fit book cover features a renaissance inspired decorative strap on the spine of the cover, with a center belt/strap that secures the cover when full and shut with a nickel plated buckle. Like our other custom fit book covers, this custom leather book cover with buckle closure is designed to protect your precious book like a suit of armor. The leather used to create this hand tooled custom fit leather book cover is the highest quality domestic cow hide leather which is cut to exact measurements, according to your book's exact dimensions. Once you order your custom fit, hand tooled leather book cover, one of our expert craftsman will carve and hand tool the design of your choice, including any personalization, directly onto the leather book cover, hand stitch the entire cover and individually attach the decorative and central straps and set the buckle by hand - making this an extraordinarily durable book cover that will last lifetimes of heavy use - aging beautifully and gracefully along the way.

To make this hand tooled custom fit leather book cover even more useful, we include a pen holder, for easy note-taking.

Hand tooled custom fit leather book cover with buckle closure shown in distressed medium brown color, with book inside (book or book is NOT included with this cover) without personalization or customization. Both personalization and customization is available for this cover.

To ensure a perfect fit, you need to provide measurements of book, rounded *up* to nearest 1/8". Do not estimate these measurements as hand tooled custom leather book covers may not be returned due to improper measurements. "Height" measurement can be taken by laying book flat on table, closed; measure from bottom of front cover to top of front cover. "Width" measurement: with book in same position (spine to left), measure from spine to right side of front cover. "Depth" measurement: turn book so spine is facing toward you, measure from the table (back cover) to the top of the book (front cover).

2. Size options: Our custom leather book covers and book covers are custom sized to fit your book or book.
3. Leather color: Our leather supplier supplies us with superior quality domestic 4-5 ounce leather hides that accept color exceptionally well (so that we can dye the hide by request). This allows us to offer a wide range of colors, or custom colors (by request). The leather colors listed in our options are our "standard" colors. However, if you would like a color not listed below, simply contact us, as we can dye a leather hide to match most color requests.
