Rustic River Leather has added a new Passport and Ticket wallet to it’s home and office lineup.

Ever approached the security line in the airport and begun to wonder where you placed your passport or boarding pass?  With so many compartments in laptop bags and carry-on bags, it’s easy to misplace your passport or other travel documents and begin a frantic search before it’s your turn in the line.  The Rustic River Ticket Organizer is made to help prevent such embarrassing occurrences.

The ticket organizer has pockets to store your passport, tickets, and boarding passes, business cards, and other travel documents.  The organizer is made from genuine cow skin leather and has an Old West style and feel to it.

The organizer measures 9 1/4 by 5  inches and can be found at Rustic River Leather.

Rustic River Leather Photo Album

Author Thomas | 28.09.2009 | Category Accessories

We live in a world of speed and ever evolving technology.  Obviously (as evidenced through the posts), I like technology, but I also really enjoy the classic, traditional, and old fashioned things in life.  Wouldn’t it be great to have a tract of land to farm with a large house…and high speed Internet, Google Android Phones, etc.?

Anyway, in this techno world that we live in, it’s become more and more easy to take pictures and store them.  I’ve found myself taking more and more pictures and simply storing them on my computer.  There’s really no constraint other than hard drive size, so away I snap.

More recently, I’ve begun storing pictures in photo albums.  There’s just something special (how quaint), about viewing pictures in an album.  Recently we took a horseback riding trip, and I wanted a great place to store the pictures.  The Rustic River Leather Photo Album hits the spot perfectly.

I got the Dark Brown Version (pictured is the Saddle Brown), and oddly enough, I found a spot for it on the mantel, and it looks great.  The leather is very rustic.  It’ll show marks and dings, but that’s part of the style.  However, I’m still pretty careful with it.  The album holds 100 4×6 pictures and is hand sewn.

The inside of the album is similar to a regular photo album.  It’s the outer construction that makes all the difference.  It takes a few tries to get the leather wrap knot correct.

So in our high-paced, ever changing world, it feels great to do something a little old fashioned.

The Leather Money Clip

Author Thomas | 22.08.2009 | Category Accessories, Apparel

I’ve used the same wallet for years.  The leather wore down to the fabric underneath in many places.  It was also a little bulky (not so much from cash but from extra storage space for cards).  I had the library card, bank cards, FedEx card (of all things), etc., etc., and it had an extra flap for a driver’s license and two other cards.  In other words, my old wallet was quite bulky.

I decided to try simplify and go for something new by trying a money clip.  I purchased the Dark Brown version on the money clip below and have liked it over my old wallet quite a bit because the money clip is more compact.

I do have to work a little bit to get some of the cards out, but as I really only use a couple of cards regularly, it isn’t that much of an issue.  Some day, I imagine, we’ll use our phones for credit transactions, identification, or perhaps our fingerprints, but until then, the good ol’ fashioned money clip works just great for me.

The Rustic Leather Money Clip can be purchased at Rustic Country Leather with free shipping (last time I checked).

New Leather Composition Notebook from Rustic River Leather

Author Thomas | 19.06.2009 | Category Accessories

I find myself taking notes on just about everything.  I’ll grab receipts, scraps of paper, etc. to write down very important things…and then…I lose the paper.  Who’d-a-thunk?

A while back, I started using portfolio pads, and they were great except for the paper flipped vertically and it was hard to look up notes when you used both sides.

Now I’m exploring a whole new frontier in notetaking…an actual notebook!  And if you’re going to get a notebook, get one with style!

We got the Leather Composition Notebook by Rustic River Leather, and it’s great.

The notebook is actually a leather cover that is refillable.  The refills can be picked up for a couple bucks or less and are standard-sized.

Below is a picture of the composition notebook refill.  You can pick them up at Wal-mart, Amazon, or just about any office/stationary supply store:

What’s great about this is that it can be used over and over again (won’t fill up).

Video demo:

The leather is very thick and rustic. Hope to get a lot of use out of this one and hopefully save all those scraps of paper from suffering untimely loses!

Who’d have thunk a  Leather Notebook could be so cool!

Old Town Leather Photo Album Holds 300 Pictures

Author Thomas | 11.04.2008 | Category Home & Garden

There’s something about holding your pictures in your hand or in a photo album that you just can’t get by storing or viewing them on the computer.

It’s even easier now than ever to print your pictures whether at home from your own printer or through an online photo printing service that will mail your pictures to you (such as SnapFish by HP), but where to store all those prints?

Until recently, our household stored our pictures in the paper folder they came in, and it was high time to get something better.  For a lot of photos, we’d just keep them on the computer for viewing, but we still felt like storing the photos in a more classic way.

The Old Town photo album (pictured above) has plenty of space to hold pictures (300 4×6 inch photos) and includes room to hold 6 CDs (or DVD’s) that contain your pictures or even home movies.  We purchased a number of these albums to store family and vacation pictures.

The inside margin of each page has lines and space to write about each picture. The acid free pages will help protect pictures and preserve the memo notes about them in the margins. The leather covering and binding are great and should last a very, very long time.  The inside cover has a faux suede interior lining which is a nice touch.

A sleeve in the very back of the binder allows for storage for negatives or extra disks.

This Old Town Photo Album is available on LLgco.com.
