Kinda..not really...but a pen topic
Hi folks. So I desperately need a new pad folio. Need something that looks professional, leather is preferred, fairly simple and will stand up to a rough life. I don't want anything that zips shut either. Which ones do you guys use?
Thanks as always! To know the future is to be trapped by it |

What size pad? What other features should it include. Any general price range?

Legal sized pad. A pen slot is handy but not required, and a card slot or 2 would be nice. Simple clean basic. Let's keep it under $500 US. If they'll put my company logo on it all the better.

Smythson.com. Great craftsmanship, classy, not the run-of-the-mill Montblanc stuff. Will last forever.

I like the Col. Littlejohn 18L (legal) portfolio but then I love buffalo hide. Some folk don't.

I bought one of these for a friend and it is built like a tank. Has a 100 year warranty!

So I decided on the Col. I wasn't sure which to get so my buddy talked me into the 2 tone one, he says it's more practical and will match black and brown that way. Lol. Like my watches, pens, and boomsticks are practical so why should this be?!. Anyway, I placed the order Monday afternoon and I got it today! I had them personalize it too. I'm not crazy about all the crap on the header of the pad but the paper seems to take ink nice from a variety of pens/inks. Having never ordered from them I wasn't sure what to really expect. I was pleasantly surprised. They came well packaged with a nice presentation. The quality seems to be great with nice attention to detail. They even sent me a moon pie, not that I can eat it but my buddy was happy to gobble it for me. I think that they and Courteney boot company will have my leather business moving forward.
Of course pictures or it didn't happen right!?! ![]() ![]() Pardon my chicken scratch! To know the future is to be trapped by it |
