Masculine stationery

Due to pursuit of one of my 43Things goals of writing letters, I made a disturbing discovery: high-quality, masculine stationery isn’t easy to find.

Back in the day, it could be picked up at the dollar store or the supermarket, but not now. Now, you’re hard pressed to find anything except lined notebooks, printer paper, maybe some Strawberry Shortcake notepads.

Is it a sign of the times? Have we written off that people – especially the males of the species – have no need to compose formal letters on paper?

The best source, I’ve found, is hotels. Stay in a hotel, and you can pick up some fairly good, no frills writing paper with the corporate logo on it.

Remember that.
