Soft leather

The leather cover is nice and has a soft feel. It fits a bit tight on the journal so the leather cover has no room to move, this causes the cover to crumble up and fold a bit when the journal is open. The journal was also slightly damaged with the cover slightly torn. But the overall feel of the leather cover is nice en the journal paper is satisfying to write on.
If you wanted to replace the journal you will have to get something simmilar with a soft cover.

Plastic

For the proce I was disappointed at the plastic pen received with cheap feel and unimpressive writing nib / ballpoint refill . Looks good but feels plasticky cheap.
