What's in your pocket today?

Love the Popov. Not a fan of the "ghosting " of Field Notes with a FP, however. Double edge sword.

I'm going to get a Popov cover for my Hobonichi Techo day planner.

Nice! I've thought about contacting them about custom orders. It sounds like I should.

I just ordered it (bourbon color with cream stitching), and will report back when it's in hand.

Are there many modern iron galls in production, Doug?

Fewer and fewer these days, Bob. The one today for me, the Hero 232.

Nice, Bob! I hope you are pleased with your purchase. I have two and they are great covers for my journal and memo books. Please report back on your thoughts, once you've received it.

Say, that's a mighty fine pen there. Any details about it?

Sadly, according to their FAQ, they can't take commissions. I assume that's current, though maybe there's a chance you might get lucky. Ryan Popoff is very friendly and approachable, however.... The Hobonichi cover is a regular in their inventory. Small shop with a rather large boom in demand. So, it's understandable, yet I'd love to have them do some custom work for me too.

Yes, I caught the model/make. The other details were what I was after. Thanks. It's lovely.
