How Do I Measure for My Custom Leather Cover?

Updated: Aug 28

Discover how to measure for a custom leather cover for your Traditional Catholic Missals, Breviaries, and Douey-Rheims Bibles. Ensure a perfect fit!


To measure for a custom cover you will need: 1.) A clear table

2.) A tape measure (a fabric one is ideal to be able to wrap around the book)

3.) A photo taking device


We need you to take a photo of your tape measure near your book or Missal so that we can reference the specific measurements down to the last millimeter. This ensures a custom fit.

FIFTH MEASUREMENT- For Zipper Closure




  • Place tape measure at the top spine of your book when closed then wrap tape measure around the pages until it ends at the end of the spine on the underside of your book; being careful not to pull the tape measure too tightly. Then photograph the measurement.
