DESCRIPTION
Is it weird that it took Field Notes so long to make a bigger notebook? Customers often requested larger books with the same features as their regular Field Notes, and previously they'd only obliged once: with their “Arts and Sciences” limited edition. When those sold out, the requests kept coming, but they sought the right formula to fit a larger “Note Book” into their permanent collection.
These new Field Notes Pitch Black Notebooks are available in 2-Packs. Bound with glossy black staples and sturdy 118# covers featuring new, Field Notes-exclusive black/kraft duplex paper from French Paper Co.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
“I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now.”
Inspired by the vanishing sub-genre of agricultural memo books, ornate pocket ledgers, and the simple, unassuming beauty of a well-crafted grocery list, the Draplin Design Company of Portland and Coudal Partners, a Chicago creative firm, have created Field Notes Brand, a collection of smartly-designed, vintage-styled pocket notebooks, calendars, and various office accoutrements.
From the very beginning, every Field Notes paper product has been manufactured in the U.S.A. From the paper, sourced from some of the finest mills in the Midwest, to even the inks used, the production of Field Notes has never required travel on a cargo ship or plane.
