Lochby Field Journal Pocket Journal Tool Roll Review

[@Saturdays.Script]

I'm an American married to a Dutch man I was dying laughing at your resting Dutch face ....he cracked a half smile (a high compliment indeed) thanks for the review.

[@stampinsan]

Stephen Brown you are funny during normal times, but a complete breath of fresh air during this time we must all stay at home for our safety. I have the tool roll and the A5. Now I need that pocket!! Thank you for it all, including your “boom” comments. 😂❤️

[@LordCinnamon]

I saw the big one and was imedietly impressed. I wanted to see a more pocket sized one. Was full expecting to go and pay 80 plus usd after watching the review. Saw that they were 35, left review and bought one. Thank you Brown. I want to see more of this person's work.

[@jelliweazle3007]

I want them!!! and I love the orange/brown combo ! Have dropped hints my husbands way! Birthday coming up! Lochby please come to UK and make more great things!

[@randy-9842]

Thanks (again) Stephen. I popped over to Lochby's website and now have a couple items soon to head my direction. Not only am I impressed by your review and of the products he sells, but also of how he's handled the website/ordering and his super speedy tracking-number response (package to follow shortly)! Well done Christopher!!

[@randy-9842]

Holy smokes! I placed my order Monday afternoon and it arrived Wednesday afternoon. Not only did Chris do a phenomenal job getting them to the USPS quickly, but the USPS used a bullet train instead of the normal Pony Express. Btw: I really am impressed with his Field and Pocket Journals and his insert pads. Well made, thoughtfully made, useful and attractive. What's not to like? Thanks, Stephen.

[@stacys447]

Thanks for the fun review. Since I live in the US, I have only worked with a few Dutch people. I think I understand a bit better now. Thanks for the info!

[@swifty3]

Love the start when you zoom out to see the products. It's almost a "If you want to see these products you will have to put up with the legs of the tripod". Only much better said. And the reason I watch so many of your videos. You can tell I don't have a customer facing role.

[@adventuredenali]

Refreshing! Great to see review on a product you can really stand behind. Well thought out and designed for sure.

[@be.still.and.journal2892]

Love the intro 😆 To me this is like the adult luxurious upgrade of the trapper keepers of my youth. I really like the waxed canvas. It would be fun to take this hiking.

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

Great video. And great product. I think I need some Lochby products now... Maybe all of them!

[@garyweybright3227]

I have the tool roll, and just ordered two field journals. Your review is spot on! The attention to detail, use of quality material, and design features! Chris is on a roll and will make this a standard for field artists, campers, outdoor enthusiasts and journal users. Thanks for making such a great quality product!! Sbrebrown, your review is great as well, all the features you point out are spot on. ClaudiaSJI

[@rztour]

Great detailed reviews require a bit of time....no apologies needed! Absolutely LOVE this review. And frankly the price of the large one is astounding. My go to paper is 7mm lined Rhodia but I tend to write only on one side, so thanks for the measurement on spacing on the Tomoe River, for sure a 2-sided FP paper. WILL buy the large one today!

[@jimmybritt8405]

I have one of each of their products and I love them.

[@caburg93]

Waxed canvas is very cool! Excellent design!!! Awesome!

[@geckonia]

😁 great review and the stitched notebooks look solid. Even in the shower.

[@randy-9842]

I like 'em! The waxed canvas is, indeed, very cool, as you and someone with the handle "Cait" said before me. I also like the 68 gm Tomoe River paper better than the 52. I'm going to look into them. Love the expressive Dutch face. It'd be great in poker games ... unless or until you are dealt a hand worthy of a Lochby.

[@Cocobird5]

Love your enthusiasm! They are functional and so well thought out.

[@dodger0101]

Thanks for the great review,! the tiny loop on the back is for the aircraft aluminum hook, so it doesn’t dangle or flop around when not in use.

[@isaace436]

This whole video was hilarious and informative at the same time. And it's got me wanting one of these!

[@alanpareis734]

Priceless! I can’t wait to see the next review Mutation after a few more weeks of Cvid Confinement. In the meantime I must check out the Lochby site. Stay well Stephen.

[@edreilly6674]

Maybe the best video yet: Displays of unrestrained Dutch enthusiasm! And the shower scene. I bought a Popov notebook cover based on Stephen's review, and I love it. I will add these to my list too.

[@PatrisDev]

The Field Journal would've been so useful in school! Having all textbooks and pens in one place...

[@martinfox2244]

I just received the pocket journal. Very nicely made. Quality product. The outside pockets are a bit tight but maybe they will loosen a bit.

[@joolz999]

Most covers are leather and look great but are sooo expensive. This has a utilitarian look that I just love.

[@archivist17]

Beautiful products! I particularly love the tool roll, which surprises me.

[@christophermckellar1352]

Bravo Lochby and Bravo Dr. Brown! Thanks for the great and funny review.

[@rebeccac4751]

I have the A5 Lochby cover and love it, I would love to have the pocket one, but man the cost is eye watering, and as a Canadian, double eye watering 😢

[@jacobus57]

I've been thinking about picking up one of these, but was uncertain until this review. I, too, love waxed canvas--(yay Driazbone)--as well as excellent leather, but now I have to pick one!!!

[@per4mnce1]

Thank you Dr. Brown. Another interesting and well made video.

[@SamManso]

Excellent review. Love that tool Roll. Thanks for the water test but I have to ask: Did you have waxed canvas shorts on?

[@barbarawest1205]

Doctor Brown! Sir! Now I'm going to the Lochby site to see what else I can find.

[@independentmind1977]

Yes, I was once married to a Dutch woman, I can verify that is indeed his ecstatic face. This man can be trusted.

[@VincentTamer]

great review, I think I'm going to be grabbing the pocket journal :)

[@justjennie7394]

Welp, I ordered the Field Journal and some dot grid notebooks😁

[@weaver7249]

I love your review and I am purchasing everything they make! I am not kidding.

[@penguinzrule7]

I loved the ending (and the whole review) thanks for making this video!

[@JPinBrooklyn]

Great review, thanks! I don't like pen loops though, I would never put a good pen on the outside of the case.

[@PatrisDev]

Lochby, if you're watching, I'd love to see a zippered pen case as well!

[@louo4086]

Before going into you tube influencing, did you ever work in sales?

[@Scouzeboy]

Love the chant. As well as the video. Keep it up.

[@Trent_Fleming]

Great straight forward review!

[@misswoodhouse5720]

The little one would make a great wallet hashtag #Wallet haha. I can see the EDC community loving these products. ps, great review.

[@peterhofmann8292]

Stephen, the "dutch" faces segment was priceless😊😊. Sounds like a really great product, and I could tell from the review how "excited" (enthusiastic, maybe) you were about the product whilst doing the review. One question, and not sure if you can answer this, but the outside loop if used consistently with a larger pen, will it not "expand" so that when putting in a smaller pen, the pen will be loose? Now off to go visit the Lochby website:-)

[@sbrebrown]

It is an elastic material, so I think the risk of stretching it out is definitely there. I will say it is a pretty stout stretchy band

[@peterhofmann8292]

@@sbrebrown thanks appreciate it

[@justjennie7394]

Love this video and your enthusiasm

[@Scouzeboy]

Brilliant, Brilliant video. You've convined me. I'm in Australia so if I was to buy then I would have currency conversion, import duty and then GST. $50USD = $80 AUS. So with import duty it would take over the $100 mark. It would still be a good product for that price.

[@ArkansasMike]

Great looking products! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week my friend. 👍🏻✒📔

[@Msq3dman]

The small loop on the back of the cover is probably to store the aluminum clasp when not in use. Maybe.

[@rsuninv]

Msq3dman that’s exactly what it’s for

[@lucm6476]

cool stuff

[@Pianomaster05]

Placed my order right after seeing this. Only b/c of the last part of the video.

[@chphotovideo]

Love the lochby! love the review. haaaaate the camera. Always feel like I'm literally watching the video upside down :(

[@TheAtl0001]

Excited kid opening his Xmas presents 😜👍 BTW reminds me a lot of the German SenseBag products (transotype)I have. Though I love my senseBag prods (also my Japanes Lihit Lab prods), Lochby seem sturdier, higher quality and more versatile.

[@mrpilotsapien7705]

Great product!

[@chrislj2890]

I don't need these products, but now I want them. Was this some kinda psychological mind bending trickery with The Force or what? 🤔

[@herbcraven7146]

Great review, sir! Perhaps you should get yourself a Filson waxed canvas hat for those time when you want to shower with your Lochby notebooks. Liked and subscribed.

[@hpkalil]

The faces of Doc Brown.

[@dangermandave67]

One thing that concerns me about these products is the use of synthetic material on the interior. My experience with nylon is that it degrades over time (we're talking years). So these are not necessarily items that you will hand down to your kids. I may be dead wrong about this particular nylon but I would have preferred to see a heavy-duty cotton instead. But given the price, it is probably not such an issue. You can just buy another. It's not like some Filson product that you pay hundreds of bucks for.

[@ElectricUnicycles]

That ending was both great and hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh out loud 👊

[@randy-9842]

I must add one thing more: You missed an opportunity with the tool roll and the shower scene. On Lochby's website, he has a video that shows that the tool kit can also be used as a Dopp Kit (toiletries). While you were wearing your waterproof hat in the, ahem, "rain" you could have filled the tool kit with a razor, some shampoo, a Rite-in-the-Rain (waterproof) notebook and a Fisher Space Pen (yeah, I know, I know, Space Pens are ballpoints but they write under water, through grease and, as far as I know, through glops of shampoo) all for taking those fleeting notes that only occur when you're shaving or singing in the shower. Maybe a "how do we like it now" sequel?

[@jelliweazle3007]

Randy R I did wonder what you were going to suggest DrB could have put in the tool roll whilst in the shower😂😂😂

[@jelliweazle3007]

Yes, but did you LIKE the product Dr B??😂

[@AnInkGuy]

Unfortunately I can never unsee the end of that video. Lol

[@Michael-mo6gx]

It’s now $59. Ahhhh.

[@hansspiegl8684]

Love it 😂 🚿

[@rsuninv]

That shower scene was almost Bates Motel worthy

[@sbrebrown]

With the exception that I may be more insane.

[@bangbang51211]

These are great. Not too crazy about the hook type clasp but the rest makes up for it. I'll definitely be getting one. Thanks for the review.

[@carbonbiker]

4 years later.... not $39 any more. $59 as of January 2025

[@BeerInTheWoods]

Hilarious- lekker video!

[@therealjenso]

I enjoyed the review. Please straighten the Mandalorian poster. It's driving me crazy.

[@noreenroche5294]

😂👍

[@Nick-cp3sr]

....the er... “Money Shot” A first in Fountain pen and Stationery Ephemera Reviewing! 👍🏼😂👍🏼 ... and these products are 100% Vegan 🌱

[@carolz5090]

Oh good God. I’m scared now. I was just concerned until the shower scene. He’s really gone over the edge, but maybe it was only a matter of time before he filmed himself wearing nothing but a hat and a notebook in the shower. In looking back I can see there were warning signs. Maybe our relentless demand for videos was just too much pressure? People, did you have to ask him the same questions, over and over again? “How many pens do you have? What is your favorite pen? Will the nib flex? Are you really as girthy as you claim to be?” Now look what you’ve done! He has assorted personas, whispers asides to himself, speaks in strange voices and mutters jokes that only he seemed to understand. There’s a stuffed lobster that was presented to us a British peer, and he speaks to a full size skeleton with a monocle. No one normal does these things. Collectively they tell the sad, sad story of a once brilliant mind that’s gone, to borrow an expression, “Boom. Appelboom.”

[@InktronicsBlog]

I think Im blind. 😂😂😂😂

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Stephen. THe waxed canvas is great. But the orange interior is dreadful to me.

[@gts1117]

The orange was my favorite part! I love the brown/orange combo on products

[@rebeccac4751]

First 1.3 min 😆😆😆

[@markcollins2876]

Stoic

[@TheDesius]

I think I still like the travelers notebook more. I just love leather
