I received my pounch and am sad to say, but I was disappointed. I was disappointed in two major things. First is the stitching on this. The thread seems overly thin and will easily fall apart over time. It's also double stitching seemingly randomly throughout and not at key areas. It really just seems sloppy and definitely not durable. Not the end of the world for me, but if I'm being honest, this was my impression.
The other, and most important issue was that I bought it to hold my field notes in (like in the pictures advertising this) and it doesn't it! The strap of leather that used to secure the field notes isn't wide enough. I do not want to trim the back cover of the field notes for this to fit. It's off. by a mm or two. Here's a pic:

VerwilderdAgree on both the quality and the notebook strap. I was able to force a moleskin cahier in there, but it was definitely a tight fit and left the paper warped.

bendowneyYeah, I tried with the field notes, but it wasn't going to fit, even slightly warping it. I will be returning it. That's too bad. The idea was definitely good though.
VerwilderdHi all, This is definitely an issue that we need to get resolved. Not sure why we suddenly had sizing issues with a few in this production run, but we will get to the bottom of this and get it solved. In the meantime please contact us for a replacement which will be triple checked for proper fit. service@allegorygoods.com
As for the concerns regarding the thread durability, we are extremely selective with our materials. The thread is actually incredibly strong, and uv resistant for durability over time. Will be posting a video soon of two adults playing tug of war with one of our bags. The type of thread we use is commonly used in sails which must endure the elements as well as constant extreme force. While it's not as thick as threads used in other items you've seen, it is in many cases stronger and more durable due to the quality of materials, and the structure of the thread.
Cheers, Chad

VerwilderdI have no idea how to use this thing either. It fits moleskin notebooks. However, with items packed in the little elastic holders, it is way to bulky to use as a notebook carrier.
