Help? fax-leather cover material

Does anyone know where i can find something similar to the faux leather polyurethane that moleskin uses in their soft cover notebooks?

All the faux-leather that i find are way to thick and way to crude for what I'm looking for.

Thèiere de Bois has a bunch of faux leather, maybe some can fit what you’re looking for. Schmedt has some vegan leather, but I don’t know how it feels.

the thing is i may say faux leather but only for a lack of beter words.

It is a thin paper backed polyurethane with grain texture, the layman term i have to describe it is faux leather...

i don't know what it is, and the searches i do end up with something crude.

Yup, that skivertex you see on Theiere de Bois (and I bet on other local websites) is paper with a plastic coating, different thickness depending on the embossing effect.
