The Police Notebook Cover

One of the great things about working with leather is that there are incredible amounts of applications or custom designs to fit someone's needs.  A gentleman from Canada inquired about a leather police notebook cover to replace his current beat-up, standard issue cover.  The project sounded totally attainable and within my capabilities.

After some discussion, we decided on natural veg-tanned leather that would be dyed black with some Royal Blue Maine Thread Company .040" waxed polycord.  I loved the pop in color with the blue thread and this was one of the first times I've used Maine Thread Company before.  The notebook cover measured 3.750" x 11" and had slots to hold the notebook, a pocket on the inside for a laminated ID Card, and a pocket on the outside for a traffic template.  The front had the 5 digit badge number and LBL logo on the back.  Overall, I was very pleased with how this turned out and my customer loved the cover.

Here we're crafting a leather Police Notebook Cover. We were asked to craft one a few years ago and made a blog post about the notebook, and now we're asked to do a custom notebook every few months. The leather is Wickett & Craig Black Skirting leather and Royal Blue thread from Maine Thread Company.

This handcrafted Police Notebook Cover will hold your notebook, ID, business cards, and look badass while doing so.

The leather used is a 3-4oz Black Skirting Leather from Wickett & Craig, a US based tannery with over a century’s experience in the world of leather.

This black leather is best paired with the Royal Blue waxed polycord thread from Maine Thread Company. The polyester thread will not rot like some cotton threads do over time.

The Notebook cover has 2 interior pockets to hold your notebook, and 2 exterior pockets on the back; one with a thumb slot to hold an ID Card and a larger one for things like business cards.

We place the stitch approximately .125” from the edge and allow roughly .0625”-.125” wiggle room on each edge for your notebook to sit comfortably, without being too snug or too loose.

Lead Time: 1-2 weeks to process + Transit time to your location.

Thank you for visiting, and we hope your police notebook cover will serve you well!
