Lined FabricTwill (Navy x Gray)A5 Cousin Size
- 2025 New
Woven fabric in which many threads are combined vertically and horizontally to create a stunning pattern — the Lined Fabric series is designed to create different patterns through diverse weaving techniques.
The Cousin size cover uses a twill fabric created by navy and gray threads. The stripe pattern on a strong and supple denim-like material gives it a three-dimensional look with a variable weave. You might also love how the material smooths over time.
From a distance, the pattern looks like simple stripes, but you will see the series of finely arranged diagonal thread patterns distinctive to twill weaving. 
The piping around the edges of the cover also has diagonal lines created by the weaving. It shapes the design and accents it. 
Inside of the cover is a light, comfortable fabric in tight navy. The card pockets have a striped pattern created with the same twill weaving as the front side.
The two bookmarks are made with wide ribbons in red and navy, with the tips cut at an angle. 
The cover is simple and profound, and its joy will last for a long time. Gaze at it, touch it, and savor it.
In the Hobonichi Techo 2025 lineup, the Cousin book comes in either English or Japanese.
*The English book is only available as the January-start version.

Please Read Before You Buy
In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.
- Actual specifications may vary from listing
Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.
- Threads are napped and uneven
Threads may contain uneven thickness or naps (knots and lumps in the material).
- Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining
Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.
- Pen holders are rigid at first
The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.
- Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide
The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.
- Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
- Coloring may stain other objects
The dye in the cover may stain other objects if it rubs against or sticks to them, especially if the cover is wet from water or sweat from your hands. Please store with care.
- Not for use with Cover on Cover
This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Cover on Cover may damage the products.
