Changes never stop...

It was this before......  and now a Change. 

Like I mentioned in the previous post, Changes Never Stop, one should never be contented. 

Leather cover for the Standard Memorandum

Recently, Craft Master of Second Kings, Mr Josef Chow, surprised me with a customized leather cover for the Standard Memorandum 2015.

On the first look, it looks like an ordinary leather cover.

My Collections of Traveler's Notebook.

Not sure if you know, but I started my first Midori Traveler's Notebook back in Year 2008. 

Back then, traveler's notebook like this (leather cover with interchangeable notebooks) was not as popular today. 

As I remembered, there aren't many people using Midori Traveler's Notebook back then.

Searching for inspiration on how to enhance my Traveler's notebook can only be done on Flickr.

In the recent years, I have more exposure to other traveler's notebook through the Facebook / Instagram. From there, I realized that I can get a customized Traveler's notebook in other colors

I can also get a leather cover that holds different types of inserts, particularly, Field Notes size.

My collections for FN size (3.5" x 5.5') fauxdori expanded with the opening of Blank and Write Shop. 

Let's see, what I have in my collections:

A love for Brass pen - another one into collection.

I have been a lover for brass pens (my very first was a Midori Traveler's Notebook Brass pen), 

and I usually lost my temptation to beautiful brass pens. 

Few month back, Anachronistinc (now known as Yellow Birch Outfitter) introduced his first brass pen, and it immediately caught my attention.

It is an art piece.. and certainly it is. 

This is a customized brass pen with an 'A' on top of the pen, and together, it comes with a leather cover.

The brass pen:

It is a bolt action brass pen, which holds any Pilot G2 refill (or something similar). 

All brass pens are heavy - of course they are - but this piece is lighter than my Karas Kustoms Brass Bolt. 

But still, my hand gets a little tire after writing a page on my Muji notebook. 

The leather pen holder:

Its a beautiful piece of leather pen holder, and it holds the brass pen nicely. 

This pen holder can be attached to the regular size MTN by looping the elastic cord into the holes on the leather.

Alternatively, I can attached strings to it and wear it around my neck - as a landyard pen holder.

By looking at the craftsmanship, I can tell that Jay (the man behind Anachronistinc) pays alot of attention to details, and he ensure that each piece of work is beautifully done.
