I can't bring myself to spend the money on the more popular leather covers like CS and Foxy Fix, so my "upgrades" are in utility and aesthetics rather than quality. My current favorite is my Webster's Pages TN cover in Diamond White. (Amazon link) Pockets in the front and back, and wide enough for those who like having more than a few inserts. It comes punched with two holes on each end, strung with 4 elastics. I improved it - added a third hole to each end and then mounted grommets on the holes, and then strung it with six elastics. I'm actually surprised by how much I love this thing.

I also have this leather cover, which is really good quality for the price. Unfortunately, I messed up the leather and until I do something with that, it's out of commission. Currently, I'm considering Angelus leather paint as an option for salvaging it. I grommetized that one too. Ever since I got my little grommet kit, I just grommet anything I can. LOL

One area where I've definitely upgraded is my inserts. In addition to using Midori inserts for my weekly and monthly calendars (I used to just print my own), I've been getting Tomoe River inserts on Etsy. So far I've gotten them from Paper Penguin Co. and I've got in order in transit from GoodInkpressions. I've switched to using fountain pens almost exclusively, so good FP-friendly paper has become essential.

I feel like more stuff fits than you expect. It's just slightly shorter than US letter paper. This is a walkthrough on how to make a booklet but it also shows the difference between traveler's notebooks and US letter. You could make one sheet that's the right size to give you an idea of what you're looking at.

Dang! It sounds like you already have a great plan of action.

Here is the Midori planner insert. There are 215 pages of options on etsy. If you see something on etsy that is close but not perfect, you could message the seller and see if they'd adjust their layout to fit what you want. Some do printables and others will send you a finished notebook so make sure you read the description to know what you're getting. Here is a store selling what you described for your weekly as a printable. I'm not sure where you live but I know you can buy stuff in person at Kinokuniya.

If you do printables from etsy then you could add months, weeks, or whatever, on your preferred paper. I use a mix of knock off notebooks, midori notebooks, and booklets I've designed myself (One is for my hobbies and the other is a pokedex - neither are very fancy.)

I have been trying to compare the differences between Foxy Fix and Chic Sparrow myself. I have a standard TN in brown from Traveler's Company and was looking to expand into one of the softer leathers. Here is what I found out:
Chic Sparrow has sizing charts that are very well explained. The pocket version would be the size that most matches the TN Passport, though it will also fit field notes and moleskien small notebook

Foxy Fix has sizing charts that are done in measurements only. The No7 size is a standard TN size-ish. The No2 would match the passport/fieldnotes/moleskin small size.

As far as other shops, check etsy. There are a lot of them all over the place. In addition to that, you can look at Amazon.com and try the ZYLC line of TN's I think that for the price of one book you can get one of each size and a pen holder. I have one of these as well and just got the passport size for my husband. The leather is good. And it comes with inserts.

Let us know what you end up getting!

I designed my own TN cover and inserts:

  • https://imgur.com/a/TAZOM (newborn to 9 months)
  • https://imgur.com/a/nUsAt (9 months onwards)

    I used Domtar 32lb bond 8.5x11" paper. It was cheaper than the HP Premium brand and very smooth for fountain pens (says a bunch of regular fountain pen users at Pelikan Hub). But if you print with an inkjet, then the fountain pen ink runs when you write over the printed stuff. I've never tried with a laserjet, but I hypothesize that it would work better.

    As it was, with a baby, I had to switch to using ballpoint pens anyway. Papermate Inkjoy Quattro in regular and fashion colours, for a total of 7 usable different colours - the Lime Green is very light and hard to see, so I never used it.

    My printer broke at one point, so I saved all my pages as PDF and uploaded it to Kinkos to print on 8.5x11" paper for me. They didn't do binding too well, so I just took the printed sheets home, folded them in half and put the booklets together myself. I did a simple staple saddle-binding with a long-reach stapler. Had I known better, I would have bought the Bostitch Saddle Stapler instead.

    I also made my own inserts with a Cambridge graph paper pad. I used a cardstock cover and used 15 8.5x11" sheets folded in half.

    I've made dot grid notebooks using gridzzly.com. Make a copy of the one-sided PDF and use https://combinepdf.com/ to put them together. Then print the 2 pages out back to back. Print out 10-ish sheets of dot paper, fold them in half, bind them together with a cardstock cover.

    Is that the kind of tips/advice you're looking for?

The closest I've seen are mats that are 15 x 22.5 cm like here and 15 x 21 cm here.

This one is probably the closest you're going to get on Amazon.

Another option is to buy a cheaper Field Notes leather cover with card slots, purchase a 1/8" or 5/32" leather hole punch, and then just punch a few holes into the "spine" section to insert the elastics into.

I did not, though I haven't contacted the redditor mentioned in another comment yet.

I ended up pulling my cards out of the notebook, and just using a rubber band as a minimalist wallet.

There is this on Amazon. I haven't tried it yet; looks like it could be as annoying as the plastic one, just in a different way.

I use a Retro 51 (specifically, The System) and the Leuchtturm Pen Loop.

This is carried in my back pocket in most days.

u/loveandbacon · 1 pointr/midori

I have this one.

It’s portable, works well and is a decent size to type on but not sure how it would work in a TN. I have an iPhone 8+ and height x length is slightly larger than the phone while thickness is about 2x https://i.imgur.com/h3TqeL4.jpg

This is the tool I use, although it was only $9 when I bought it a couple years ago. It's a fine product, but idk if I'd spend more than $10 for it again. There are similar products on amazon.

It works well. When utilized with a straight edge, it produces a very professional perforation. I can perforate an entire Midori brand refill in ~4 passes w/ moderate to heavy pressure. It's another step in preping my Midori, but I would not call it tedious or troublesome at all.

The only drawback I've experienced is that it may work too well, in that if I keep a perforated page in the notebook and turn past it, the page folds at the perforation line and not at the natural fold of the refill. I used to worry that this would eventually result in one of these pages unintentionally falling out, but nowadays I leave a small section of the pages' top and bottom unperforated to ensure they stay in. It hasn't really been a problem, and I imagine that if you use a tool with wider spaced cutting sections, it would be different.

If you're patient, I believe you can also find TN-like notebooks that are made such that there is no (or at least minimal) knots. I believe the "wanderings notebook" has its elastics arranged to avoid the knots.

The official website seems down now, but you can find them on amazon.
