Milwaukee Leather Journal Wallet with Pen XS - Black

It’s okay but I am disappointed

The order arrived very quickly, which was great considering it was being shipped to Japan. I requested for the wallet to be engraved, and I preferred my name in Katakana. Even though I mentioned that Roman letters would be fine if Katakana wasn’t possible, I have to say I was a bit disappointed to see they didn’t use Katakana. On top of that, the letters are slightly tilted and not perfectly straight on the wallet. It’s not terrible, but it is a little annoying. What bothers me the most, however, is the pen. Not only is the quality extremely poor and difficult to write with, but it also leaked all over my wallet after just a few days. I strongly recommend replacing the pen with a better model. The wallet itself is fine. The leather is good, but it is very simple, so don’t expect too much.

For use in Japan

There were no compatible notebooks for use in Japan. Since Moleskine's XS size is also hard to find, I cut an A7 size notebook and use it. The product is very cool and I like to carry it with me every day.

I have purchased several other journals from Olpr - thus is my least favorite because of the craftsmanship. The slots for inserting the included mini pen are too tight. Also, I think the Moleskine journal rather than the generic brand journal should have been inserted as Moleskine was referenced by name as the refill proper.
