I use a similar size Moleskin, I have about 5 of them. Might get some of these and put them in rotation. :)
@JoshDance Awesome. In my extremely biased opinion, that sounds like a great idea. ;)
@kylry Thanks, Kyle—glad you've enjoyed using it! The more worn-in my Confidant gets, the more I love it. Hope you like the Apprentice.
@_jacksmith That's what I want to know as well. I'm an avid Field Notes user. Field Notes the company definitely has a distinct character, which along with the fine craftsmanship, make it a great product. I can see, for example, that Baron Fig uses stitching for binding versus staples in Field Notes.
Anything else you can add about durability and company ethos @joeycofone?
@eric3000 @_jacksmith Good Q! I've been carrying around a prototype, and purposefully beating it up—and it's held together fine. It's quite a durable little notebook, especially being sewn as opposed to stapled (which creates two weak points, one around each staple).

I've enjoyed my Baron Fig for the past 6 months or so and receive lots of compliments on the textured grey cover. These guys are in-tune with the needs of their customers. Excited to try a more compact version.
@ChaseTheTruth Chase, thank you—glad you're enjoying the Confidant. Totally appreciate the good words.
Having searched since the mid '90s for a device to capture notes, sketches & ideas (HP 200LX) I have to say I have been amazed at the effectiveness of the Baron Fig Confidant. Analog, physical, carry anywhere and don't need to stow during takeoff or landing. Glad to see Joey & team continue to innovate!
Big fan of the Confidant I have, and I think the Apprentice is a great move (as my favorite moleskins are this size). Love it @joeycofone, excited to try it out.
Just realized we're the only fully analog product today (as of writing this). Thanks for the love, all!
Co-founder here! If you have questions feel free to throw them down.
PS. Marcus, thanks for the love!
@joeycofon The pocket size is very nice. It would be great if you'd ship a pencil that also fits in a pocket.
@joeycofone Hey Joey, curious to learn more about how you've captured and used customer feedback to create your notebooks.
Like the size, and agree that similarly sized writing implements would be a definite plus. :)
