Some More on Moleskine

Sunday, February 24th, 2013

The has been a lot of discussion about whether Italian firm Moleskine’s position on embossing firearms manufacturer’s logos on their notebooks after we reported that they are right against it. Turns out, according to their brand guidelines, they not only don’t work with firearms companies but also, “Pornographers, Extreme Political Organizations, Religious Organizations, or the Defense Industry.”

On one level, I understand that they want to steer clear of anything controversial, but the Defense Industry? I guess on some level it does go to strengthen my argument that the firearms and defense industries are one in the same and all of these half-baked anti-2A laws only serve to weaken our military in the long run.

Still, I hope they don’t realize Arc’teryx has a LEAF division. Those notebooks are a pretty cool giveaway.

Thanks to BE Meyers for the additional info on Molseskine.

WTF Moleskine?

A friend of ours in the firearms industry received this email from notebook manufacturer Moleskine after inquiring about getting some branded notebooks for giveaways.

Thank you for your request but currently Moleskine Brand Guidelines prevent us from working with any weapon companies. Good luck and have a great day.

Moleskine Unveils iOS Device Covers

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

We have written about the legendary Moleskine notebooks in the past, and we also rely on both an iPhone as well as an iPad. So were were quite pleased to find out that Moleskine will be releasing what they are referring to as new hybrid tools. These include a Tablet Cover for iPad and a Smartphone Cover for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. Naturally, the covers will include a built-in blank page notebook. Fortunately, the notebooks are replaceable since they fill up fast and we prefer the gridded paper versions.

The new covers resemble Moleskine notebooks, featuring rounded corners and the classic elastic band to keep the smooth black cover secured. Additionally, the inside is lined with suede to prevent to prevent screen damage. Pre-order now from www.moleskine.com.
