Allegory Leather Pocket Journal

Outdoors•Summer Backpacking Essentials

All great reminders, so I thought I'd add some extra backpacking recommendations! First Aid - When going ultralight, my first aid consists of a couple sterile alcohol wipes, 2-3 bandaids, ibuprofen, 1-2 small packets of antibiotic ointment, and ducktape (wrapped around poles), and a small ammount of paper tape which I like for covering hot spots if I get one on my feet. Carry a small knife - you probably don't need that half-lb multi tool...

Interview With Paper Goods Designer Cat Seto

Inspired by a lifelong love of paper and one memorable trip to France, artist and author Cat Seto founded San Francisco’s Ferme à Papier—a collection of gift cards, planners, notepads, art prints, calendars, and more. Since then, the stat...

I have to agree with the previous poster, this grinder definitely leaks, but the pro's outweigh the con's. It's a very easy grinder to use. I didn't have to apply wax. Pollen accumulates nicely on the bottom, notwithstanding a little leakage. It's very light, yet sturdy. Excellent grip design. Each level locks into place nicely. The paper holder is a cool functional twist. Rasta colors are very Rasta. Move over Space Case (referring to my 2...

Everyday Pen/Ink on not so great papers?

Glad to see this new TALK area. Great place to share and explore. And maybe find some new ideas! Speaking of which, I am looking for a great pen/ink combo for everyday writing on copy/laser paper. You know, the stuff everyone uses.... Curr...

Allegory Pocket Pen Case Journal

Writing•Allegory Webnotebook Cover

You might be able to stretch the Allegory cover. Mine fits loose along the spine, enough that I can slip a finger between the cover and spine. You need some way of stretching the leather. Failing to stretch the leather cover, will you be able to use the cover on another notebook or pawn it off on another fountain pen and fine paper enthusiast? I am quite happy with my Allegory Webbie cover. There was some misunderstanding about shipping, but...

Writing•B5 Notebook Covers

I write on B5 notebooks as well. Life makes a leather-like vinyl cover. Nanami Paper sells them but the covers have been out of stock for over a month now. I was hoping enough folks would have joined me in my comment on the Allegory A5 cover offering, and maybe they would make a B5 version. Of course they are soft covers too. I don't mind a softcover, as I use a writing mat made of plastic. Still having a cover to protect the notebook would...

Writing•Allegory M3 Salvaged Indonesian Teak Fountain Pen

I have another allegory pen that I got from MD inn an earlier drop. Has a magnetic cap. Very satisfied. EF should write about 0.5 thin or even thinner depending on that ink, paper, and writing pressure. Most EF are 0.38 and extra width is from above variables, especially writing pressure. Most people press way too hard when they first try fountain pens because they are used to ballpoint and rollerball.

Allegory Large Notebook Cover

Writing•Allegory M1 Ancient Kauri Wood Fountain Pen

I received a short cartridge in the pen, and also a converter in the brown paper wrapper along with the pen itself. (Thanks for doing it right, Allegory/Massdrop.) I would suggest double-checking the wrapper unless you've already thrown it out. If you didn't get a converter, try not to take it too hard as it's a pretty generic standard international converter that you could find anywhere for a few bucks if you don't already have one (or...

Writing•Massdrop Staff Picks: Meet J9

Back home, almost every other stationary store would offer book binding services. Nothing artistic; it was a university town and most of it was binding and re-binding of text books. The upshot was you could bring your own project to any of those stores and they would cut or press the block for you, for the equivalent of about 50 cents. Binding material was easy to source and very cheap. It's still common for people to buy the fabric and sew...
