Leather Covers for Stalogy 365Days

Stalogy 365Days Covers in Leather

A full year of 365Days pages makes a thick book. On our cover it hangs on one elastic through its middle spread, so it opens as normal inside the leather, and the other bands carry something thinner. When the year is done, the book comes off and the next one goes on.

JIS or ISO: Why the Numbers Disagree

If you have compared a Stalogy B6 with a B6 cover and found the numbers off, this is why. ISO B6 is 4.9" × 6.9" (12.5 × 17.6 cm). JIS B6, the Japanese standard Stalogy follows, is 5" × 7.2" (12.8 × 18.2 cm). Our B6 cover is 5.3" × 7.7" (13.5 × 19.6 cm) closed, so a Stalogy sits in it with about 0.7 cm above and below instead of the full centimeter an ISO notebook gets. Snug, not tight.

Stalogy Sizes and Covers

• 365Days A6 — 4.1" × 5.8" (10.5 × 14.8 cm): A6 covers.
• 365Days B6 — 5" × 7.2" (12.8 × 18.2 cm), JIS: B6 covers.
• 365Days A5 — 5.8" × 8.3" (14.8 × 21 cm): A5 covers.
• 365Days B5 — 7.2" × 10.1" (18.2 × 25.7 cm), JIS: B5 covers, with room to spare.

A B6 Slim notebook is a different thing: narrower than a Stalogy B6 and too loose in a B6 cover. It has its own B6 Slim cover.

A Thick Book on One Band

Give the 365Days a band to itself. The others suit something thinner: our paper refills in the same four sizes, a slim list notebook, or a leather insert for cards and receipts. Other JIS B6 notebooks, such as the Kokuyo Campus B6, share the size and the cover, and the A6 cover takes a Hobonichi Techo Original as well.

Room for a Year

Three elastic bands give about 1.6" (4 cm) of spine, which is a 365Days plus a thin notebook and an insert. If you also want a second full book beside it, choose a five-band model such as the Gabriel or Meloria, which gives about 2.2" (5.5 cm). Past that the cover still closes, but it stops feeling like one book.

Six Leathers, One Finish

Covers come in Black Onyx, Chestnut, Forest Green, Bordeaux, Cognac and Caramel, all full-grain Crazy Horse with a wax finish instead of a painted coat. It takes marks easily, and most of them rub back with a thumb. A name or initials can be personalized onto the front, journal charms hang from the closure, and the leather journal covers page has the rest of the range.
