I would use the cover! I just wouldn’t tuck it in the back and I wouldn’t use the strings either. The moterm covers are too good not to use 🙃😂 This is a lovely combo!
That is a beautiful planner. I ordered a Rhodia planner for 2025, but I have already put in a reminder to check these out for 2026. I just let mine look worn. That is part of the charm of a planner I think, and it makes it so satisfying to start using a new one every year when the old one is in tatters. But I do understand the desire to want to protect the cover.
Graph notebooks that are this specific size are SO hard to come by. Everything is dot nowadays. I had some of these in my cart and your review was very helpful in my decision. The colors are lovely too great picks!!
The only thing I am wondering is if you plan on adding a whole bunch of stuff to the pockets? Then it would look real crazy. But those books are beautiful and can stand on their own without a cover. 💜
@@robbourne1950 they are! It’s just that it’s fabric and they get stained pretty bad if something gets on it. That’s why I have them on my other Hemlock and Oak.
Might be the dumbest suggestion ever but what about one of the Moterm zip around covers, if it fits? It would just be to protect that outer cover though and I know that is not ideal. I am not sure if those are the H & O covers that are treated to be stronger but still, I wouldn’t be comfortable just throwing it around in my bag? 🤔 A lot of the Sterling Ink people get their covers from Etsy, just the clear ones, and they order them specially made, even for the plastic covers. I am getting H & O this year too but the covers are becoming a problem. 😔 Thank you for showing them though, they are lovely!
OMGGGG yessss.... that's what I am saying. They will eventually get dirty with no cover and then I wouldn't be able to just carry it with me. Thank you. I will look into that because a clear cover is really ideal for my pockets because getting these specially made is about 100 plus.... I would love to show the cover still. I'm glad the half letter moterm fits their standard notebooks but their newer covers, I am not sure which covers would fit.
What about an Archer & Olive cover? They make similar TN notebooks. I would check the measurements between Hemlock & Oak and Archer & Olive before buying. It maybe a decent option. I commented before finishing the video. I think A&O has the TN size notebook measurements listed. But I am not sure.
Thank you so much. I will check into that. When I preordered these, they didn't have the measurements listed. I probably should have waited until they were done releasing all of the notebooks so that I could have checked the measurements first lol. That's what happens when you don't have patience. lol

Exactly. I would hate to return it. I love me some Moterm.

Oh yes. These are amazing. I love them.

You're welcome! These are really great.

I honestly think that the journal is perfect without a cover 🤷🏽♀️. I would just return the cover.
Thanks. I love this cover too much to return it. lol consumerism problems lol.
Wouldn’t notice it but the moterm is too small imo and I wouldn’t use it
@@Amberuzor yea it is too small!!! Ugh. I may have to get one custom made by Leather Imagined.
