I have been happy with it. With two special notes: The zipper and pen loop.
THE ZIPPER
The zipper is a bit toothy. I am not sure what material this is but it feels like aluminium or zinc. Having said that it begins to feel smoother with more use.
THE PEN LOOP
The pen loop will not fit most fountain pens. But it does stretch a bit with use. Just note that once stretched, it wont shrink back.
Note that the pen I have here is a Sailor Pro Gear SLIM MINI. So it is slimmer than most fountain pens.
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PEN AND ZIPPER
The internal distance between the zipper and the pen loop needs to be observed and considered. Because the pen loop wasn’t designed for larger pens, larger pens could become scratched by the movement of the zipper and its mechanism each time you zip open and close.
This is true for most of my standard size fountain pens.
I wonder if there is a way to add a protective internal flap like you find in pants without adding bulk or volume.
The current distance seems to be considered well enough for standard pens, or a slim line fountain pen like this one.
The whole cover is a bit snug all around. It is not necessarily a bad thing, because this also means that the cover is more secure during travels since less parts are moving around.
PRODUCTION BATCH
This was purchase as part of my Hobonichi 2023 purchases, so it was listed in their 2022 batch of items. This might be important if when you think about how leathers from different batches can different.
CONCLUSION
Overall I would recommend it.
I AM NOT AFFILIATED
with Hobonichi, or any of their associates, in any way.
