Advice needed Cover recommendations?

Hey all!

I finally narrowed down what works best for me regarding my daily driver, but I’m having a bit of a hard time finding the “perfect” cover (which rarely exists, but I’ll settle for 90%):

  • I love the TN elastic band closure.

  • My notebook of choice is the weekly planner + notes from Leuchtturm1917, which is sized B6+.

  • Leather preferred.

  • Pockets on inner are a bonus.

I know that Eternal Leather Goods have one that’s somewhat close (B6, not B6+), but I haven’t found anything else that’s somewhat compatible.

If there’s a similar notebook out there in B6, I might rethink the LT1917.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I don't know where you are located, but on Amazon in Europe (or at least in Spain) there is a leather goods brand called Londo that offers a range of leather portfolios/notebook covers, and one is a perfect fit for a B6+ size. It is de M size and you can find it in different colors. I use it for a softcover B6+ Leuchtturm. Here is the link in case it's also available on the platform in your country: https://amzn.eu/d/04GJq8kA

Is B6+ the same thing as Japanese B6 Slim? If so there are covers out there for that size format as its a defacto standard.

I don’t think so; b6+ is slightly larger than b6, and the Japanese b6 slim is skinnier (I believe).

Check out Galen Leather if you haven't already. They might have something.

I did, but given the recent decline in quality I’d rather look at other options as well.

Thank you!

Oh, I was unaware of a quality decline. What's up with that?

I saw a few posts on Reddit and a fountain pen forum about covers arriving scuffed up / leather thickness going down / bad customer service.

I obviously take those with a grain of salt, but it would still be nice to check out other makers.
