The biggest drawback is the subtle markings left by the way the machine pulls the leather along. The biggest benefit is that it takes significantly less time, & therefor cost significantly less to produce. Hand stitching is not only much stronger than a machine stitch but also much more beautiful, not only because of the lack of machine marks but because of the thicker, ribbon shaped thread that can be used which lays in the signature zig-zag pattern indicative of a good quality saddle stitching. The leather is 1/8th of an inch thick, strong enough to stand to serious daily use for many years. Not opting for wafer thin leather means I cannot have a dozen small pockets for every gadget & charger, but those come & go. This was built for pen & paper, simple, & largely unchanged for 150 years now. The back cover is made from one continuous piece of leather. This is costly but I find it both more durable & more beautiful. Superfluous seams are a great way for a maker to save costs on leather, allowing products to be made from smaller pieces, but each new seam is a new weak point that did not need to be included. I have omitted any small straps, buttons, ties, or snaps. Delicate parts like these are always the first point of failure. They stick out, they get caught on sleeves & in bags, I find it best to simply live without them. From that strong foundation I have given this product every bit of polish & precision I know how within my craft. The leather is cut, oiled, dyed, & assembled by hand so that no detail is missing. The edges of each piece are sanded, dyed, & burnished to a high finish. This folio is available for any sized paper. Perfect for the professional & the student. The organized will immediately love it, the disorganized will be better for it. We are only as good as our ideas. Most great ideas begin on paper, give yours the professional presentation & protection that only full grain leather can provide. Available in right & left-handed makes Portfolios will be made right handed by default, if you would like a left handed version leave this request in the note during checkout.
