Summer Slim Down With All-Ett-Midori

[j.a.j.]

I like to keep a small notebook for personal things always with me. I’ve been using a Leuchtturm1917 Pocket Notebook and keeping it in my bag.Together with my old wallet it took about 3.5 cm so i needed to slim down for the summer vacation.

I bought a Midori’s Passport sized travelers notebook from the nice Sfaar Store while visiting Talinn. I did not want to get the Midori leather covers as they do seem a bit bulky for what i had in my mind. Also, the more items you carry the more you have things to remember.

Fortunately there are a lot of wallets that fit a passport. After some digging i found All-Ett wallets that are amazingly thin. The one i ordered was the passport sized “EcoThin” wallet. It really is amazingly thin even when fitted with ten cards, bills and a Midori. 1.3 cm to be exact. It is almost too thin.

I recommend the wallet wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to get “as thin as possible” wallet. At the same time i must caution that the material used in the wallet could feel a bit flimsy to someone who is used to the more sturdy leather wallets. Of the materials available “EcoThin” material seemed nicer than the spinnaker cloth that is used in “Original” or “Leather” based on Youtube videos.

The passport pocket seam created a bit uneven writing surface so i cut a sheet of thin plastic from elasticated folder and glued it on the last page with Spray Mount.

Overall i'm very happy. Off course It is easier to write on a hard covered notebook when you can not put the notebook on a even surface for support. For me the All-Ett-Midori is still more than acceptable for taking quick notes while standing. I was prepared for the expense of premium leather wallet and All-Ett EcoThin wallets are very reasonably priced. Maybe i should spend the money i saved on a nice pocket pen..

Very nice solution. It still fits a passport too as you still have room!
