The combination of graph paper, sticky notes, flash cards, legal paper and the black college style notebook that was popular on Ghostwriter back in the day could lead to an entire drawer or backpack of writing accessories. Not in the case of Japanese brand Rezon and designer Hideo Kawamura. They've combined all these ... continue reading
Finding a portable pad of paper to keep track of your thoughts is not a difficult task.

They feature Yupo Synthetic "paper" that's ... continue reading

We go through notebooks at an alarming rate. We keep one on us at all times, and after a couple of weeks that sucker is filled with notes, lists and jottings about things we want to buy. The thing is, we like to keep them and look back on what we were up to on such-and-such a date. To keep all our past pocket notebooks ... continue reading
Calling your to-do list by another name isn’t going to change the way you feel about it. Whether it’s your “Honey Do List” for stuff around the house or a “Productivity Schedule” for the office, in your mind everything gets filed under the same list: Shit I Gotta Fucking Get Done. Just be honest and call ... continue reading
Notebooks come in handy for all kinds of things—like making to-do lists or remembering brilliant ideas—but they’re also convenient for jotting down phone numbers. Sometimes it’s just a lot quicker and easier to pull out a notebook then to fumble with your phone. But instead of jotting down numbers the margins ... continue reading
The Cool Material office along with most of our employees are located in New Jersey. Despite lost power and a few downed trees, we all made it through Sandy okay.

If you haven't noticed, beer is the new wine. People have stopped talking about grape varietals and "legs" and have started talking about hoppiness and other characteristics of beer.

Some of the greatest creative minds in the world can credit some of their success to a little inhaled inspiration—including Stephen King, Tarantino, and pretty much every musician ever. It’s pretty well known that there’s a link between creativity and cannabis, but unfortunately the same can be said about short ... continue reading
The word "linen" doesn't exactly ooze masculinity. In fact, it makes us think of lace bedspreads and light blue Yankee Candles, neither of which we would like to spend any time or brain power on contemplating. While linen isn't exactly a prominent textile in the goods we normally seek out, these notebooks from Tanner ... continue reading
Try as we might, we've never been able to go completely paperless. No amount of "notebook" apps will ever replace the strange sense of accomplishment we get from actually writing something down in a notebook with a pen or pencil. It's a chance to use all those writing skills you used in grade school and something you ... continue reading
There are few male accessories that add such a quick touch of class as the pocket square. One minute you're just another dude in a suit and the next you're being asked for champagne recommendations, smoking Cubans you didn't even buy and hanging with the social elite (aka - super models). We're also quite aware that ... continue reading
Are these notebooks the greatest thing since sliced bread? We don't know. You can't throw a few pieces of cajun turkey and a slice of cheddar on them for lunch, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In case the name didn't give it away, this is a package of notebooks (twelve to be exact) designed to look like individual ... continue reading
If you have a to-do list that’s too long to fit in one of our Shit I Gotta Fucking Get Done notebooks or you’re just writing down something you want to be a little more permanent, you probably want to step up to something closer to a Moleskine. It’s not really a notebook you can carry around in your pocket all ... continue reading
With over fifteen different apps on our phones (and countless more available) for reminders, appointments, notes and to-dos, not to mention e-mail, it's a wonder that we even interact with paper anymore. And yet, like clockwork, we find ourselves whipping out a pocket notebook to write something down at least a few ... continue reading
