Letter writing paper recommendations? (lemmy.ca)

I currently have a Life writing pad for letter writing. I like it, but I would like to try some other loose leaf paper. Does anyone have recommendations? I would prefer lined, but unlined is ok if the paper is thin enough to use a guide sheet underneath.

Rhodia only sells in pads and small notebooks unfortunately. It's a shame because I like their paper as a jack of all trades paper. Clairefontaine does looseleaf. I have used their notebook paper and liked it a lot. I put an order in for their Triomphe paper yesterday. I'm not sure if it's the same paper that they use in the notebooks. I will find out soon! I finally found some CAL looseleaf and ordered that too. I've used it in notebook format and loved it. I'm waiting to put in an order for Midori pads and will probably toss the TR52gsm in the cart while I'm at it now that you've given me the nudge. Have you used G. Lalo? It is a bit pricy, so I'm not sure if it's worth trying.

I have not tried G. Lalo. Once I found tomoe river planners, I stopped experimenting with paper. I mostly integrated fountain pens into my day-to-day workflow and don't do anything particularly special with them anymore.
