This vintage-inspired leather journal cover is great for executives, writers, journalers, note takers and list makers. Handmade in the USA with our full-grain, double-tanned Vintage Brown American steerhide.
The leather composition journal has been around since the mid-1800s or thereabouts. Even with the proliferation of electronic devices, its popularity and relevance endures.
“I’m not guaranteeing that writing in this handsome notebook will inspire you to greatness or improve the quality of your cognitive reasoning, but I can guarantee you’ll look good using it.”
– Colonel Littleton
Date the registers on the inside cover, file them away and you have a chronicle of your daily activity and a treasure for future generations – your life story as told by you.
Colonel’s Journal Register, which may be reordered, contains 160 ruled and center-stitched pages (80 sheets). Opens flat so you can write on both sides of the paper. Standard composition notebooks also work well with our journal cover.
Reinforced leather spine and edge stitching for durability. Extra storage with interior pockets for business cards and pens. We’ve included the Colonel Expedition Pencil, brass paper clip, and Journal Register. The notebook cover includes two attached leather bookmarks. Personalize your journal with 3 block initials engraved on solid brass plate.
Made in the Col. Littleton Workshop in Lynnville TN, USA from full-grain American steerhide.
Our polished leather is both vegetable-tanned and hand-tanned to a smooth finish. Over time, this special leather develops its own natural character and patina – the more you use this journal, the better it looks.
This item is also available in Tobacco Brown American Buffalo.

We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steerhide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.

I bought a No. 30 journal few weeks ago. I immediately found a need for another and am delighted this second one and, as always, with all of the Colonel’s gear. The No. 30 is a great size for notes, calendars, travel journals. Lovely workmanship, full grain leather, classic engraved initials. Strictly top shelf in every respect and a wonderful addition to the kit. Many thanks to the Colonel and crew.
Don, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review! We’re so glad you’re happy with your Journals and hope they continue serving you well for many years to come.
I recently received my No. 30 Leather Composition Journal from Colonel Littleton, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding, far exceeding my expectations. This was my first purchase from Colonel Littleton, and I’m already excited to explore more of their products. The quality and timeless elegance of this journal have truly won me over. Looking forward to becoming a repeat customer! Best regards,
Grant, thank you so much for your stellar review! We are so glad that you have joined the Col. Littleton community and hope that your Composition Journal serves you well for many years to come!
I just bought the No. 30 Journal in black. I am delighted in the design, materials and workmanship. The engraved initials are perfect, delivery fast and flawless. This journal fits the 12 month calendars I pick up at the local bookstore; it certainly adds a lot of class to my daily accounts.
I have been a customer of Colonel Littleton’s for a dozen years and placed a dozen orders. I have never been disappointed. Retired now (sort of), my briefcases on ‘active standby’, the journal has a place front and center on the work table.
I am ‘always satisfied with the best’ and the Colonel surely provided this in every instance.
Hopefully there is one more trip to Lynnville in my future.
Many thanks to the Colonel and best wishes to Judy.
