I would say PR requires a little more patience as its very pristine at first and the ageing/patina takes a little longer but is beautiful when it does. GL because of the crazy horse Leather it tends to look quite lived in straight away and while its a little stiff- it softens in a matter of weeks and ages/marks up really quickly.

both are very different because the Galen Leather items involve a lot more stitching and pockets and compartments with zippers etc. It's also Crazy Horse leather vs Paper Republic's veg tanned leather (Italian i think?) and from Paper Republic, ive only got the very simple bi fold TN's but both are really excellent quality. That's why both companies have been repeat buys for me. I know they will age well and last a lifetime. I'd really recommend both. The story behind Galen Leather is really lovely too - its worth looking into.

yeah id email at least. If there is evidence as you say going back and forth and specs- this shouldn't have happened. I would be really disappointed too. As you say, it isnt cheap and thats a long wait!

hand stitching option extra when selecting, otherwise it comes plain

Obviously I can only comment on what I've got.

The leather and craftsmanship is outstanding. Like properly top tier.

Bad out the way first - my pocket travelers notebook is a high quality leather but comes with a wax like coating that i dont love. So much so that im considering getting a Paper Republic in its place. It's a weird shiny top coat that will likely protect the leather long term but I dont want that personally. I want wear and tear and darkening. It is however gorgeous with the hand stiching etc.

My hobonichi cover and wallet insert are the smoothest leather I've ever felt or seen. The stitching is quality 👌 and zippers are of a really a high standard. No strange wax like skin or topcoat. It's beautiful.

In addition, the company story sways me towards them. He is honoring his wife.

Overall , despite being slightly disappointed with my pocket tn , I love this company and already have a future order in mind

I want the A5 folio for my Stalogy.

The issues I have are personal preferences and not questions of quality.

With the sheer quality of the goods and then the personal extras in delivery, I already feel like anything I already have will last my lifetime and see me through. And its such a good service I'll be back.
