I designed these checkbooks for personal sized checks, a ledger, deposit slips, etc. Choose from three styles to suit your needs, whether you want just a cover or you want to carry credit cards and a pen. I choose the best quality leathers available for my products and line the inside for a finished feel. Because I strive to make the best quality products possible, I guarantee my work for life.
I use a variety of fine quality leathers in my products. My chrome-tanned cowhide is dyed and finished at the tannery for a clean consistent look with a semi-gloss finish. My veg-tanned calfskin is dyed and finished here in my shop, highlighting the natural variation in the hides much like staining wood does. Trying to balance perfection against wastefulness, I minimize imperfections as best I can, and try to put them on the inside or back of my products when necessary.
Personalize your checkbook with a monogram! I am happy to stamp initials, a name or whatever your heart desires. Monograms are 1/2 inch tall, ALL CAPS, up to 3 characters, and placed in the bottom right corner on the front cover (oriented like a book, with the spine on the left). (Please note that monogrammed items cannot be returned.)

Frequently Asked Questions
MONOGRAMS:
I can stamp your name, initials or whatever you like on most of my products.
Monograms are 1/2 inch tall letters, all caps. Using my heat stamping machine, monograms stamp cleanly and beautifully. See an example in the color swatches photo on most listings in my shop.
**Please note that all sales are final for monogrammed products.
LEATHER CARE:
Properly cared for, my products will last a lifetime. We have seen leather items from the civil war come in the shop that are still in excellent condition because they were cared for properly!
Over time, leather dries out and needs to have oil put back into it. I use Fiebing's Prime Neatsfoot Oil Compound on my veg-tanned leather products, and I highly recommend it. This is a heavy oil designed specifically for veg-tanned leathers. Apply it with a rag once a year or so. Whatever doesn't soak in, in a minute or so, wipe off. It is that easy.
**Never use Mink Oil on my products because it will rot the nylon thread and is NOT covered in my lifetime guarantee against defects.
OUT IN THE RAIN:
Water will not damage my products. While the finish I use is water resistant, you may see some water spotting, especially on light colors. The lining I use is a waterproof rip-stop nylon which will keep out the rain so you need not worry about your electronics and other items getting wet when you get caught out in the rain. Because, lets face it, that happens to all of us!
Water will cause leather to dry out more quickly, so if your bag gets wet frequently, you should put oil back into it more often. (see Leather Care above)
LIFETIME GUARANTEE:
My goal is to make the absolute best quality products possible; therefore, I guarantee everything I make for life against defects in materials and workmanship. With this in mind, I use only the finest quality leather, nylon thread, rip-stop nylon lining, solid brass and stainless steel hardware available. If something goes wrong and it is my fault, I will happily fix it for free!
CHARACTERISTICS OF MY LEATHER:
I use a variety of the finest quality leathers available, sourced both here in the US and around the world from some of the best tanneries in the business.
The chrome-tanned cowhide I use is dyed and finished at the tannery for a clean consistent look with a semi-gloss finish.
The veg-tanned calfskin I use is dyed and finished here in my shop, highlighting the natural character of these hides much like staining wood does. Trying to balance perfection against wastefulness, I minimize imperfections as much as possible, placing them in less noticeable locations on my products only when it is absolutely necessary.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES:
If you are not happy for any reason, feel free to contact me and I will do my best to make it right.
I am happy to pay for return postage (within the USA) so that you may shop risk-free.
Monogrammed items and custom or cut-to-order items (such as custom phone cases and belts) may be exchanged only, no refunds.

I ordered a couple of different items - a personal checkbook, and a desktop check register. Brian was receptive to changes, communicative throughout the process, and delivered the items MUCH faster than I envisioned that they would arrive! On top of that, the merchandise was lovely. I'll happily be using these for years to come, and will equally happily use Homestead Leather for future needs!

This is everything a checkbook cover should be! Snug fit, pen holder, lays flat, and keeps both of our checkbooks together. It's perfect for our needs and what I've spent years wishing for. I purchased the green and it's as vibrant and beautiful as pictured. Thank you for creating this product!

This was a gift for my wife and she loves it! It is hard to find real leather, especially at a reasonable price. This is both!
