No. 1 Steno Padfolio
An American Classic for Executives, Writers, Note Takers and List Makers – A stylish design that is perfect for those who like to write it down and value both form and function.
A line down the middle, and your notes take on a whole new look and feel. Before the age of technology, stenographers relied on the steno pad for taking notes with lightning speed. Writing in a narrow-column format encouraged by the center line accomplished that need for speed. Even though the need and methodology may have changed, the steno pad remains a valued and useful accessory.
Construction and Features
As Colonel always says, “Value almost always equates to time and materials . . . the time it takes to make something and the materials from which it’s made.”
One hundred ten production steps are involved in making the Leather No. 1 Steno Padfolio the epitome of elegance and functionality. It is handcrafted in the finest richly textured Tobacco Brown American Buffalo and trimmed in our Vintage Brown American Steerhide. Then, to elevate the quality even more, it is lined in soft Calfskin.
Features a convenient, easily accessible exterior pocket (8 ¼” W x 4” H) with a leather tab closure. The interior is appointed with a pen/pencil holder, business card holder, a 5” x 6” card pocket with a diagonal slash pocket as well as two large pockets that run the entire length of the Padfolio; and, of course, Colonel’s No. 1 Writing Tablet/Steno Pad which may be reordered. The notebook has 80 Gregg-Ruled heavy-weight 60# pages and is double-sided, allowing for twice the writing space.
What truly sets the Steno Padfolio apart is the attention to detail. From the meticulously hand-stitched edges to the interior calfskin lining and convenient exterior pocket, every element has been carefully considered and expertly crafted to ensure a product that is durable, striking in its uniqueness and beautiful in an understated, elegant way.
Designed to be reversible. When you’ve written through Side A, just flip the pad over and begin using Side B. Moving the steno pad slightly upward in the padfolio allows you to fold back the cover and completed pages as you are writing.
Colonel’s No. 1 Steno Padfolio is a timeless piece that will age beautifully over time, acquiring a unique patina that tells the story of its owner’s adventures.

I just received my new No 1 Steno …at first glance I was a little disappointed. It struck me as a No 30 composition journal with a pocket on front…at twice the price. But as usual with these products, it grows and grows on you. I love it. I purchased it for the Steno pad application. I need it for my work. Plus for handy size. I am happy with it after all. As always with their products.
