Leather Pocket Folio

Love this folio! Perfect for my notebook.

I have been looking at the pocket folio for several years and finally purchased it with the Minnesota note pads. I love it and have carried it since I recieved it. I have showed several people and they are very interested in it as well. Thanks for another quality product.

I ordered the folio to hold a small 5.5 x 3.5 Field Notes notebook to jot down my rambling and notes. What I received is a lovely supple heirloom notebook cover which I anticipate will last well beyond my lifetime.

My only impulse purchase from Frost River, I didn’t need the Pocket Folio when I bought it. However, it quickly became an everyday essential (next to my wallet and keys) for a couple of reasons. First, the quality and feel of the Pocket Folio make it a pleasure to hold and to use. It’s cut and sewn from beautiful chestnut brown oil-tanned Red Wing leather. It has a smooth outer finish, which quickly takes on a burnished sheen the more it’s handled. This quality looks particularly handsome with the smaller embossed Frost River logo. Second, the Pocket Folio functions well in that it holds snug the notebooks inside of it, and its card slots can be used at the same time. These card slots also hold cards securely (no falling out). I keep two small notebooks (5.25”x3.5”x40 pages) in my Pocket Folio, one tucked away in the left pocket beneath two cards, and the other inserted on the right for ready use. I’ve got two cards stowed in the slots within its cover too, which keeps them hidden from sight. The best part, with all these contents the Folio closes tight and sleek. It requires very little “breaking in” as most hunks of leather do. Finally, this piece of craft has compelled me to write! It can be a tool for creativity, or simply become a place to jot down memos, but either way it’s a purchase that comes without regret. May it serve you well!

I use this product every day to hold a Field Notes notebook, and business cards to hand out as well as those I get from other folks. Spots for receipts and other things too. Breaks in beautifully and keeps my notebooks from getting torn up, while keeping them professional looking. Folks always ask about the Pocket Folio when I use it. If you're looking for a spot to carry a notebook and cards or a passport that's classy and will last, this is a great option!

This is a great wallet/notebook holder. It's a little heavier duty than I needed but not a deal breaker by any means, just keep in mind that it is a stout piece of gear. Picture shows about 2 months of wear.
