Finally picked up some Galen Leather stuff today. They added a bunch of Traveler's stuff to the seconds section which is perfect for me because I just toss my passport notebooks into various bags so they don't need to be perfect.
My absolutely favorite thing about Galen’s TN wallet inserts is that the pen loop is on the LEFT. I almost never get to have an integrated pen loop on the same side of the notebook as my dominant hand.
Hi Frank! Just wanted to stop by and leave a comment since I love your content! Your way of presenting and talking about your hobby is always inspiring, calm and peaceful.✨ Furthermore I love your desk in the back - it's so pretty (had to add that lol). Your videos (among some others) actually made me implement stationery content to my UA-cam channel on which I've mainly talked about books so far - that's gonna change now.🙃 Now to this video in particular: I just ordered this month from Galen Leather as well and am just impressed by the quality! Love the products.🤎 The passport insert is really nice and the color is amazing. The pen loop is probably also bigger than the one from Traveler's company, right? That's actually something that's quite a bummer since it doesn't fit most of my pens. Have fun with your new product and enjoy the rest of the weekend! Kind regards from Germany!👋
Hi Sybille, Thank you for your kind words. I'm honestly I'm a bit shocked that my videos inspired anybod!. Thank you for that. I look forward to seeing your stationery videos. I like the look of that Pelikan M400. I just checked out your channel and I love your videos. I wish I spoke German to hear your thoughts on all the amazing books you discuss. We have similar reading interests it would appear. Interesting about the pen loop being too big for your pens? I found the Traveler's Company loop to be too small. I really enjoy the elasticity of the Galen Leather loop as it seems to accommodate most of my pens with perhaps the exception of the Ferris Wheel Brush Fountain Pen. I'll keep an eye out on your channel to see if you'll do a review on yours when you receive it. Curious to see what you think. Thanks again for stopping by, take care and have a wonderful day. Warm wishes, Frank
Love the videos! I am new to your channel, but was curious about the badge/sticker on passport book. Is added on by adhesive? I would like to add something similar to my own.
Hi brothanumpsie (love the name and the movie lol). Apologies for the late response on this. It's an iron on patch that doesn't iron on very well to the leather. I ended up using superglue (in my case Gorilla Glue extra strength) and it hasn't budged in spite of my wanton need to be destructive with teh cover. Did you ever add anything to yours? Take care and have a great day!
@@StationeryAt4 Thanks for recognizing the name choice! I haven't added a patch yet, but the method you described sounds doable. I see others have sewn theirs to the notebooks they have, but the complication I run into is that mine has a pocket in the front which makes sewing a patch on quite difficult. I'll try the glue method; fingers crossed it works.
Hi Andrew, I suppose it's personal preference. The Galen Leather product description does indicate it can stand on it's own as a wallet/cover. I may try that to see what I think. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
Hey! It's a little bulky. Recently I've taken to trying it without the TN cover and using it on it's own as a wallet. I'm liking it better so far but I miss my patch.
Hi @jasperj1136. I think it was about $15. If you're the patient type (I'm known to be not) I would recommend ordering it through wonderpens wonderpens.ca/products/galen-leather-leather-wallet-insert-for-travelers-notebook-passport-size-crazy-horse-brown Hope that helps and have a wonderful day!
@@StationeryAt4. Thank you! That did help. It’s funny, You tube didn’t notify me that you had answered my question. I’m glad I went back. Have a great weekend 👍🏻
Hi @iMai E. It's a great patch. I picked it up in Canmore quite a few years ago. The artist sells them online as well www.balance-explore.ca/products/time-for-adventure-iron-on-and-or-sew-on-colourful-embroidered-patch-adventure Cheers and have a great day!
So far no... The slots are incredibly snug and it's almost a chore to get the card out of the slot. Perhaps over time. I just really wanted my pen loop on the right side so there you go. Take care and have a great day!
I just recently changed up my system and took this out of my analog rotation toolkit. I'll likely bring it back in as I sort out my rejig of analog tools. Warm wishes and have a wonderful day!
I was glad to hear that the people from Galen got through the earthquake ok.
Me too!
Woah! I did not know Galen leather made travelers notebook sized products! Amazing!
Glad the video helped. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Nice!
Thanks for the great review!
My pleasure! Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
I loved this product. I will have to order it.
Thanks Rohini. Let me know what you think of yours! Have a wonderful day.
My absolutely favorite thing about Galen’s TN wallet inserts is that the pen loop is on the LEFT. I almost never get to have an integrated pen loop on the same side of the notebook as my dominant hand.
That completely makes sense! Always good to have a different perspective :) Glad it's working out for you. Take care and have a wonderful day!
I am also having trouble figuring out the best use of my passport. Right now I am using it for my currently inked notes.
Hi Penny, that's a great idea! I'll have to think about doing something similar myself. Warm wishes and have a wonderful day

I’m definitely in the club of I Like the idea but don’t like how it sticks out lol. I only rock 2 inserts for this reason lol
Haha. I need to do a follow up video on how I use the insert now. I've given up the cover and... I love it!
This feels like it would work better as its own cover than as an insert.

The leather looks awesome! I wonder if it makes you TN feel too thick/bulky. Thanks for sharing.

Just out of curiosity, what was the duties, & taxes? I’m also interested in purchasing from Galen Leather, & I live in Canada.

Lovely. I love this particular patch on your TN. Where did you get it from?
Hi @iMai E. It's a great patch. I picked it up in Canmore quite a few years ago. The artist sells them online as well www.balance-explore.ca/products/time-for-adventure-iron-on-and-or-sew-on-colourful-embroidered-patch-adventure
Cheers and have a great day!
@@StationeryAt4 thank you 😊 I just placed an order for it.
Won't your cards fall out with it upside down?
So far no... The slots are incredibly snug and it's almost a chore to get the card out of the slot. Perhaps over time. I just really wanted my pen loop on the right side so there you go. Take care and have a great day!
Do you still use this insert?
I just recently changed up my system and took this out of my analog rotation toolkit. I'll likely bring it back in as I sort out my rejig of analog tools. Warm wishes and have a wonderful day!
