These ties do exactly what I need: hold cables and cords without getting stuck to everything Iike Velcro straps do.
I had a minor problem with the stud on one, but I contacted support and they promptly sent a replacement stud along with several extras just in case.
Great product, great service, great people!
I've had a 1.0 Aspen for a while - and I loved it so much that I bought a 2.0 for my son's high school graduation and another so that my partner and I can both have one. I've never had a quality issue with any of their leatherwork, and over time it just becomes more and more comfortable as it wears into your use patterns. I got a Slim Stationer (since I mostly carry pens, stamps, templates, and other things I use for correspondence and note-taking) and everything fits snugly.
Allegory Goods makes outstanding products from excellent materials and I can't recommend them enough.
Perfect size. Love the smell of leather. Watched your episode on Handcrafted America. Excellent work!
Perfect for purse. Watch your episode on Handcrafted American.
This is my first pocketbook, so I decided to check on what Allegory offered as I have had a great experience with the wallet. I opted for the Moleskine option even if not the recommended option because it has stitching and perforated pages for cleanly getting rid of pages. It was difficult to get the book into the journal, the stitching starts just about where the Moleskin ends. Maybe because this leather is so new, it stained the pages that it touches. Once the book is in, it won't budge so that's great.
I'm really excited to keep using this and now I'll keep an eye out for a good compact pen to go with it!
Great price and stitching. The card sleeves do need some "breaking in" with use, but that just means nothing is definitely sliding out of this one. I'm using 2 cards per card slot and some bent cash bills on the big pocket in the middle. More than 2 cards is definitely not too practical since 2 and 2 cards is already tight. IT'S PERFECT for that corner shop errand where you just need a card and maybe an ID.
I purchased this wallet in 2014 and it's now 2024. Aside from some being a little messy and some wear and tear on the plastic cover from spending every day of the last ten years in my pocket, it's still in perfect condition. I cannot recommend this strongly enough.
While I don't typically jump on start-up projects, I'm pleased I did with this package. I've used planners for years and have rarely seen one which was enclosed. This piqued my interest.
I'm thrilled with the quality and durability of the finished project and look forward to it being my go to for years to come.
The slim stationary mod is perfect, and I can still pack an A5 notebook with my calendar. Well done and thanks to the crew at Allegory!
Gorgeous black padfolio
Feels good on the hands the pebbled leather.
Great pocket journal. I use it as a refernce note taker, as I read a book and it has other book references I jot them down. Also a great way of having by your side and if some idea comes up just jot it down. Quilaty is what you expect only the best.
Purchased as a gift for a friend. The pen is exquisitely beautiful with excellent detail. The history supporting the pen‘s build is what drew me into purchasing it. Even more is that some proceeds help support Good Kids Mad City - Englewood. The pen is an amazing piece of history which also helps to give back in a meaningful way.
Like the title says, I thought I was a metal-pen-man for life: I own two solid-metal-machined pens that I love - my Excalibur, which is my work pen, and my Embercleave, which occupies my planner. Yes, I name my pens. Deal with it. Anyway, I thought I'd get a pen with some history to go with the journal that I'd use to track my own history. Having worked with them on the aforementioned planner, Allegory readily came to mind for the task. The result of my request is a pen lighter than either Excalibur or Embercleave, but perfectly balanced by the metal fixings on either end; it is a joy to write with or spin around as a fidget. I picked the ancient bog oak for its regal dark wood, and I honored that history by naming it Naegling, after the ancient sword Beowulf brings with him into his final confrontation. My love for this fine implement demands, however, that I show it greater care than Beowulf did its namesake.
The Ancients are small pieces of our world's vast history - even if the pen is light, that's weight of a different kind. If you're willing to bear it, you'll find an able companion that will not easily let you down, as long as you pay it the proper attention.
4.5 stars may be more fair. Nice material that appears durable which is a big positive. The finishing is not high end, but still good. If I’m in the market for more leather goods, I’d shop here again.
So amazing to have such a piece of history. I couldn't be happier. It is so beautiful.
I purchased this for a colleague as a graduation gift (Master) and as I opened it the morning of graduation to wrap it - the craftsmanship and quality was amazing. I loved the embossed monograms were not "colored" but embossed and very regal and distinctive. The price vs quality is so incomparable - the product is amazing and you will not be disappointed and the service follow-up for shipping were nice personal touches. My kudos to the owner and committed employees - brilliant company!!! Thom

Great craftsmanship, awesome weight, and writes flawlessly. Will be buying more of these as gifts.
I ordered this as a gift for my son-in-law for his graduation. He is a history buff and I knew he would appreciate the historic significance of the wood in this pen. He loved it!
The workmanship is top notch. I also had his initials engraved. I would definitely order again. I think it would be nice to include a page or two with some of the story that is on the website. Just in case the recipient is unaware of the significance and does not go there to read it. I found the story very interesting.
Wonderful, great memory of battleship and our time here in NC!
Perfect quality and service.
We are from Germany and take this great ballpoint pen with great memories with us!
I got the Macana Messenger Bag in saddle with colibri lining, personalized; hands down one of the best messenger bags I have ever owned. The craftsmanship is second to none, and I look forward to the many journeys we will have together!
Purchased those pens 6+ times for my friends' ordination. Meaningful and blessed gifts for them. Love Allegory.
It’s really so simple. This is a well-designed piece of meticulously crafted, useful luxury for the daily grind. Overkill? Maybe. But then again so is the stock on my favorite hunting rifle. It, like this, is drop-dead gorgeous for no other reason than being so.
