Collection: Field Notes

Field Notes is a Chicago-based notebook brand known for its durable, American-made memo books. Founded in 2007 as a collaboration between Draplin Design Company in Portland and Coudal Partners in Chicago, Field Notes draws inspiration from vintage agricultural notebooks once handed out by seed and farm equipment companies across the Midwest.

Each Field Notes notebook is designed, printed, and manufactured in the United States using high-quality materials. The brand is built on a deep appreciation for utility, simplicity, and American craftsmanship. Co-founder Aaron Draplin began by collecting and preserving vintage farm memo books, which became the foundation for the brand’s aesthetic and purpose.

Field Notes offers seasonal limited editions as well as classic three-packs in a variety of colors and styles. Known for their pocketable size and clean, functional design, these notebooks are ideal for daily use—whether in the field, at a desk, or on the go.

Field Notes stays true to its roots: proudly made in the USA and built to capture ideas wherever they strike.
