Moleskine Classic Large Notebook Hard Cover Ruled

The Moleskine Classic Large Ruled is the workhorse writing notebook of the Classic range — 240 pages of 70 g/m² acid-free ivory paper with clean 6 mm horizontal ruling in the standard A5-equivalent format. The lines are engineered to minimize ink feathering and show-through across common writing instruments including ballpoints, rollerballs, and fineliners. The rigid leather-grained black hardcover opens completely flat at 180° and protects contents from wear and moisture during sustained daily carry.

A direct choice for prolific writers, legal researchers, and team directors who need a reliable long-cycle ruled notebook. Fabric ribbon bookmark, elastic closure band, and expandable gusseted rear pocket included throughout.

Artist Insights

• How does the 6 mm ruling compare to other Moleskine and Leuchtturm ruled editions? The 6 mm spacing is standard across most A5-equivalent ruled notebooks including the Leuchtturm1917 A5 Ruled editions. The Moleskine XL Cahier uses 7 mm spacing for wider canvas formats. For very small handwriting, 6 mm may feel generous — the dotted edition offers more flexibility for non-standard writing scales.
• Is this notebook suitable for left-handed writers? Yes. The thread-bound hardcover opens completely flat at 180°, removing the spine resistance that causes discomfort for left-handed writers in case-bound or glued notebooks. The rounded corners also prevent snagging during page turning.
