As the embossing on the front cover says, the Stuff Sheath is very durable and very, very orange. Sports a single line of stitching along the…
Nock Co. — Pen Cases and Writing Accessories
It's been nine months since we first wrote about Nock Co., the pen-and-paper accessories startup co-founded by our friend Brad Dowdy. I won't belabor any childbirth references here (well I guess I just did), but I'm excited to say that their store is finally open for business. If you're like us and partial to nice pens and Field Notes notebooks, Nock Co.…
Kendall & Hyde — Leather Bags, Wallets, and More
After a successful Kickstarter campaign that far exceeded their funding expectations, Kendall & Hyde are just about ready to start selling their leather goods to the world. Everything they sell is crafted from vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather, some of which sport top-notch hardware—such as snaps made from real 1930s buffalo nickels. As of this writing (May 28th, 2014) they are still allowing pre-orders…
‘The Display’ — Pen and Notebook Holder
Mike Dudek, the guy who writes about pens over at The Clicky Post, also handcrafts some very nice pen-and-notebook holders. My favorite of the bunch is called 'The Display', because it displays your pens nicely (up to 5) and also holds a few Field Notes notebooks.

Wipebook
Wipebook is a Kickstarter project that essentially combines a paper notebook with a dry-erase board. Each page is its own mini-whiteboard, meaning that you can leave your sketches and/or notes as long as you want, then easily erase them whenever the time's right. The entire notebook can be reused over and over, so you don't have to keep buying new notebooks whenever…

Sky Guide for iOS
If the 'Night Sky' edition of Field Notes wasn't enough of an astronomy fix for you, I'd recommend checking out Sky Guide for iOS. This thing had been sitting somewhere in my AppShopper wish list for a long time, forgotten, until Ben Brooks wrote about it yesterday. I'm glad he did, because this is such a cool app. The way it works…

‘You Are Good at Things’

Things such as "having very specific ideas about how you like your tea" or "catching drifts". Maybe you're good at spotting books which you know will make the perfect companion to your coffee table or gift for your…
