Field Notes wallet, "Park Sloper No Pen," notebook cover - natural veg leather

A notebook / wallet combo that takes a Field Notes notebook and all your favorite plastic and bills.

NOTEBOOK WALLET

I'm quite proud of this design. This is a Park Sloper Senior (see my other listings) stripped of its pen sleeve. This design fits most 3.5" x 5.5" softcover notebooks and ships with a Field Notes book.

Two card slots hold at least 4 credit cards each (maybe more once it breaks in), and behind them is a long pocket that fits folded bills, receipts, etc. The long pocket is partially open at the top, which makes it much more useable that a fully stitched one. You can also tuck bills or business cards or that special someone's phone number behind the notebook. I keep the stitching off the spine, where threads receive the most wear. Finely burnished edges and high quality leather means it feels great in your hand and looks great to your eye.

"NATURAL LEATHER" CHARACTER

I adore things that come to look better with age and through use become one-of-a-kind items. This product in the "natural" color is made of vegetable tanned leather and will evolve over time. It will darken to a rich caramel color with use and exposure to UV light and take on an individual character based on the use by the owner. After a couple months it will be beautifully unique. If you want to speed up the darkening process, you can tan the leather by leaving it in the sun. Or just let time do the work!

CARE

You need to treat this leather with balm or oil to prevent cracking and deterioration and keep it looking its best. Our One Star Leather Balm happens to be the best product I've ever used on my leathers, https://www.etsy.com/listing/112643822/one-star-leather-balm. I recommend applying it in thin coats: Once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, and then as needed.

Our products are 100% handmade in our little garage workshop in California. No sewing machines, no assembly lines. Just top quality raw materials put together by hand.
