Has anyone out there tried the new journals by Shinola (made in the US, available in soft and hardcover in 3.75″x5.5″, 5.25″x8.25″ and 7″x9″ format) and Baron Fig (hardcover, 5.4″x7.7″)?

Their prices seem reasonable. The Baron Fig notebooks are supposed to be fountain pen-friendly, but I haven’t verified this myself.

I’m just curious to know what they are like. Any alternatives to the ubiquitous Moleskine are interesting.
