The Weekender (and Mail) Bag from Satchel & Page

[Toothpick]

I decided on driver’s license, cc and debit card and I took a picture of my health insurance card and put it in its own folder in my pics. All of my cards are in my virtual wallet as well.

I’m thinking of slipping a double sawbuck in with the cards as well.

Picture is a great idea. But my phone is Face ID/passcode protected, what if I'm unconscious!
Just about everywhere takes some sort of wireless pay now. I can't think of anywhere I shop that doesn't. Too bad you can't put the health insurance and DL in the Wallet app too.

The Mail Bag is starting to get banged up…

Come to think of it… so am I.

The Tech Organizer is being put to good use.

No. Sorry. I don‘t.

No. Sorry. I don‘t.

Honestly, I don’t need a money clip. I let Satchel & Page hold all my money.

Another package arrived from Satchel & Page today.

After renewing my Passport, I thought I would house it in the (what else? ) Satchel & Page “Ex Pat” wallet.

Btw, the cards I used just as examples. If I’m traveling abroad, I ain’t going to Costco.

Mrs Gold: Honey!

Johnniegold:

Mrs. Gold: Did you say Costco?

Johnniegold: No, dear. Why would I say that? You must be hearing things.

Mrs. Gold: Oh… ok. Well, let’s go there tomorrow.

Johnniegold: Sure thing, hon. I mean, I don’t wanna watch football all day.

She’s still adorable…


Anyway… you can see a compartment underneath the cards. I put my expired passport in there just so you can see what it holds.

I’ll probably put my current passport in there and put a Field Notes notebook on the other side. Maybe a Space Pen from Fisher w/o a clip so that the wallet closes a little easier. It will certainly need some breaking in.

Maybe some leather balm will soften it up.

*Just to be clear, I am not affiliated with S&P but I am afflicted with S&P.

I also picked up this key organizer since a few of my keys kept falling off my key ring (can’t have that happening).

Pretty cool if you’re looking for an overpriced, over-engineered key organizer.

Passport neatly tucked in the compartment under credit cards and a Field Notes memo book.

Now I need a thinner/narrower pen.

A new arrival from Satchel & Page…

This is their Shave Kit which is styled after the old Gladstone-type bags.

Plenty of open space inside as well as a zippered compartment.

Now back in June of 2024, I had picked up the Shave Kit No. 2 from Col. Littleton.

This kit is in the style of a military roll-up wet pack beautifully-crafted with a thick leather cover and straps with brass hardware with 4 variously-sized, zippered compartments inside.

I enjoy using it and enjoy its stylishly, handsome look, reminiscent of a by-gone era.

But when filled with toiletries and such, it is quite a large accessory to carry. If being stored in a suitcase that is being checked, not a problem. It also requires some aforethought with product placement when packing so that when rolled, it will be the flattest it can be to ensure that luggage space is at a premium.

So I wanted to complement this is roll-up style kit with a more traditional Dopp (slightly smaller) kit wherein I could just quickly throw items into it for a quick 2-3 day getaway. Usually, those trips may not require much shaving gear (if any at all). So just the basic hygiene stuff.

And with a S&P $40 discount and converting some CC points, this was a nice pick-up with no out-of-pocket expense to me.

Both of these shave kits are each stylish in their own right and appear to be well-crafted and made to last.

I look forward to using both of them.
