The Superior Labor – Bridle Leather – Fountain Pen Case – 5 Pens

Description:

The Superior Labor Bridle Leather Fountain Pen Case with 5 Pen slots is crafted from vegetable-tanned bridle leather that will last a lifetime and become more lustrous with use. It is sized to protect pens or other slender writing tools. The flap features a snap closure to secure the pens safely inside the case. Since the case features pen slots without a bottom, it is recommended to use with fountain pens that have a clip and are 5.0" long or shorter. There is 0.5" worth of room available above the pen clip area. With use, the leather will soften and darken, transforming into your own unique belonging that protects your favorite items.

Bridle leather is the way that a piece of leather (cow hide) is finished at the tannery. It has both sides, the flesh and grain, stuffed with greases and finished with wax. This is an intensive labor process which creates a surface that is smooth to the touch. Leather bloom, the natural white powder on the surface, enhances the organic patterns formed during the crafting process. Because each case is individually crafted from organic leather, no two cases are the same. There will be individual differences in the color, thickness, and texture of the leather.
