FIELD NOTES Original Kraft 3-Pack Mixed

About this product

To make a long story short. When Aaron Draplin made the very first Field Notes by hand, as a holiday gift for friends, they looked pretty much like these notebooks. When they started the company they had only one product, a 3-Pack of Kraft Memo Books with graph paper inside. And they expect, they'll always have those as the heart of their product line.

The original 48-page notebooks are available in three variations – graph, ruled, or plain paper – or as a mixed 3-pack that includes one of each paper type. Each Original Kraft memo book measures 3-1/2' wide by 5-1/2' tall and is bound by a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch process.

Proudly printed by the good people of Service Graphics, Inc., Oakbrook Terrace, Ill.
