I’ve been using write-in-the rain notebooks for years. http://www.mindbird.com/rite.htm I don’t love them but they have one feature that keeps me coming back. If they can get wet, very wet and are fine. Very helpful in an occupation like mine.

How’s the paper? Looks too cold-white for me. I like to write with sepia ink, so i love warmer shades. Muji notebooks look more yellowish. I love them.

Hi There I’m going to give these notebooks a try. One thing though stationery is spelt with an ‘e’. Stationary means not moving “I was a stationary geek” - sounds weird.

the cahiers notebooks are much more durable. i've been using a field notes for about a week now and i'll be going right back to the cahier.

cahier has a much more durable cover and the stitching on the spine wears much better in the back pocket where i carry mine. the field notes book isn't particularly resistant to getting damp from sweat or the constant abrasion that a pocket will inflict on it.

on the plus side, it's cute and folks that make them have done a good job of building buzz for the product.

largely hype in my estimation and not worth the money.

I haven’t had any experience with the moleskine cahier notebooks, so I can’t really compare the two. But I do have a standard pocket Molskine and the Field Notes is a much “lighter” alternative as I’m sure the cahier’s notebook is.

looks almost exactly like the moleskine cahier notebooks i picked up last weekend. any idea how they compare?
noted differences: graph vs lined paper, staples vs stitched binding, field notes has silly/neat stuff written on the inside covers and the latter half of the moleskine’s pages are perforated for easy tear out.
