I decided that it was time for a new everyday carry notebook and picked up a junior-sized Levenger Circa Bomber Jacket. I love the look and smell of genuine leather and it does not disappoint.
I settled on a disc-based notebook because they are so flexible and I have used them for years. As I have a paper cutter and a punch, I can use all kinds of paper, including sketching and drawing paper, copier paper, cheap notebook paper and really nice paper like Rhodia.
In addition, the disc-based notebook is really a part of a larger system because I can move things around easily and pull out pages that I am no longer using and archive them in other notebooks. Very useful!
I spruced up the Bomber Jacket with some copper-colored aluminum discs (1") to replace the smaller plastic ones that it came with. The end result looks great and is the perfect size and weight for my needs.
Even though it wasn't cheap, I expect to get a lot of use out of it in the coming years.
