I've been sitting on this one for a while now, working out every little detail over and over again until I had it just right. It's ready now, and what better time to release it than on Yellow Birch's one year anniversary? I started with notebooks, so it's only fitting. It's no secret that the "Fauxdori" has taken hold of the masses. I love them myself, and always have one in my bag. It travels with me and hold many things I keep dear. Ideas, plans, watercolors, drawings, schematics, my journal, and even my calendar. My MTN is always along for the ride. Continuing in the same fashion as the Signature Expedition Notebooks in the shop, the Signature Wayfarer is over engineered, and wonderfully so. Crafted from 9 oz vegetable tanned leather and finished in an Antique Tan then emblazoned with a sewn on leather Yellow Birch patch. The band hole has been moved to the spine to eliminate any lumps when writing and filled with a 3mm Moss Green band. 4 binding straps and generous allowances allow you to overstuff this notebook with ease. Take a look for yourself in the third picture and you'll see my own filled with 4 inserts, leather folder, and a double pocket MTN insert. There's still room to spare, yet it doesn't come off as too large or bulky. Just enough extra to keep things safe. Included also are 4 bookmarks made from cotton cord so you never lose a place, no matter what insert you are using at the time. Edge detail adds a bit of refinement and class, and an American flag is proudly stamped on the back cover as a mark of pride and quality. Included in this listing is ONLY the cover. Refills are all over the place, and half of the fun is filling it with what you want! In line with the rest of the Signature line, there is no customization available for this listing. This is the flagship, and a definition of my design ethos. Love it like it is, or let me make something different for you, I'm always open to custom work! Like I said before, this may not be the last notebook you'll ever want, but it's definitely built to be the last one you'll ever need. Proudly made in the USA by someone who proudly served it.
