== Field Notes Memo Book Holder ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Okay. I'll work on that. All right. So, before I drive us totally into the canyon, Field Notes has come out. With a, what do they even call on this? The Gentleman's Memo Book Cover. When it says Gentleman's, you have to say it in a different tone of voice. Gentleman's Memo Book Cover. So, they came out with a leather product last year. Last year when the Pony Express pouch came out. Yep. Yep. I never got one of those. Did you?

'''Myke Hurley:''' No.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I thought that was the best product out of the whole lineup that came out. Even including the box. I just thought it was really cool. It's just kind of a mass storage holds three Field Notes. I never got one. It's pretty expensive. I mean, leather's expensive. But it's good quality stuff. You know, I've got my one leather dome paper.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Memo Book Holder that I love. That's really the only one I need. Leather, you don't need too many of these. But this one has a few extra things. So, in this Field Notes Gentleman's Memo Book Cover. It has a pin holder, slot for a pin holder. It's got credit card slots. And, you know, it's kind of got the back pocket there. You can slide money and other paperwork in there, too. So, it seems pretty cool. The interesting thing they did on it is... Which they did on the Pony Express, too. Is they had their Field Notes... Oh, this is the Everyday Carry Memo Book Cover. Yeah. That I'm reading. Sorry, I'm getting them mixed up. There's two. There's a Gentleman's Memo Book Cover. Then there's an Everyday Carry Memo Book Cover.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, the Gentleman's is not new.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, that's the old one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That came out with the Pony Express. I did...

'''Myke Hurley:''' I was confused. I did think it was called the... Well, they're calling it the FNB EDC.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. So, it's the Everyday Carry Memo Book Cover, which makes a lot more sense for what it is. My apologies. But they've added the Field Notes logo, the famed Futura font on the front. And it looks pretty hot. I like the way this looks. I wouldn't pocket carry this because I don't like carrying... I like carrying my notebook in my pocket and I just can't carry a pen in my... I carry this in my back pocket. And I can't carry a pen in my back pocket. But this is good for like a backpack briefcase type of thing. I don't know. What do you think about it, Myke? Would you carry this?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think I might buy one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. This looks right up your alley.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I could put everything in there.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It looks...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm seeing it. It's got two credit card slots and one pen holder slot. And then the notebook goes on the right side. Then it's got an extra pocket on the left side. You can just kind of slide stuff in the back side of the pocket. Kind of like a wallet pocket.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Cool.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's got the waxy surface. I like the waxy surface on these leather pocket notebooks. That's how my utility journal holder is. It's got that kind of waxy feel. I like that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. No. I'm thinking about buying it. It is... Okay. It looks good.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We'll do it. And we'll get a full review by you on that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't know when that will be, though.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm not going to buy it just because I like the one that I have. This is not something... Like I said, this is not something I need two of and it wouldn't necessarily work for how I carry. But it sure is good looking. And I bet they will sell a bunch of it because there's lots of people looking for things like these. Notco.
