American Bench Craft "The Hemingway" Journal

From Massachusetts-based American Bench Craft, the Hemingway journal is made for life’s great adventures—and the thoughts and writings that spring from them. It’s constructed from a single piece of premium pull-up leather that’s folded and secured with solid brass rivets. (That means no thread stitching to fray and weaken over time.) The journal comes with a Field Notes 48-page memo book, and can also hold a bundle of index cards, a folded map, a boarding pass, or a passport. Use it to jot down to-do lists, shopping lists, ideas, reminders, and more. Built small to fit in your pocket, backpack, or briefcase, this journal makes a faithful companion at work, at home, on your travels, and in the outdoors.

Founded by two brothers who wanted to make a better, longer-lasting wallet, American Bench Craft now offers a full range of tools and accessories, including belts, bracelets, key fobs, luggage tags, knife sheaths, and more. All products are made in the company’s workshop in downtown Reading, Massachusetts, using traditional equipment and simple hand tools, and each part of the process—from cutting to stamping to riveting to finishing—is done entirely by hand. Everything American Bench Craft makes is built to stand the test of time and field-tested to ensure it’s up to the challenge.
