Green Man Leather Journal with Latch

Embossed Green Man Journal

This Szco journal has a brown leather cover embossed with the Green Man, the leaf-wrapped face from old European folklore and church carving. A metal latch holds the covers shut, so loose notes stay inside when the book rides in a pack or sits on a shelf. It suits field notes, sketches, hunting and trail logs, or a gift for someone who prefers a book that looks old.

Features

• Leather Cover — The cover is brown leather with a darker burnished finish toward the edges.
• Green Man Embossing — The pattern is pressed into the leather, showing a face framed by oak leaves with knotted vines trailing from the beard.
• Diamond Pattern Border — A double band of embossed diamonds frames the front cover and wraps around the spine.
• Antique Brass-Tone Latch — A swing-hook latch mounted on a leather tab locks the front cover to the back.
• Laced Spine Binding — The page bundles are tied through the spine with visible lacing, a traditional look that lets the book open fairly flat.
• Rough-Cut Page Edges — The pages have uneven, untrimmed edges that match the old-book style of the cover.
• Overhanging Covers — The leather extends slightly past the page block to protect the edges from scuffs.
• Compact Book Format — The portrait layout is sized to carry in a bag or keep on a desk.

Cover And Binding

The single-piece leather cover wraps the page block, and the spine is laced rather than glued. Because the design is pressed into the leather instead of printed on it, it won't wear off with handling. The latch is riveted to its tab and closes with a simple swing of the hook.
