POCKET NOTEBOOK, PERFECTED - At 3.5"x5.5," this 3 pack of memo books is perfectly sized to fit in the pocket of your shirt, pants, or purse. As always, the inside covers feature our usual Specifications and Practical Applications. GRAPH PAPER - This 48-page journal notebook is designed with best-in-class versatility and features our popular graph paper for the inside pages. Printed using soy-based ink, these memo books are perfect for daily bullet journaling, tracking midnight ramblings, or scribbling down poems when inspiration strikes. ACID-FREE, BRIGHT WHITE - Each field journal features responsibly manufactured 60 lb (90 GSM) Finch Opaque body paper, which is a pleasure to write on, as it's smoother and more substantial than the typical notepad or composition notebooks. The acid-free pages maintain a bright white color to preserve sketches, observation logs, or to-do lists. CHICAGO CITY FLAG DESIGN - Stash your Field Notes notebook in your pocket, car, or backpack for everyday carry. The design printed on the cover represents the city flag of Chicago and is made from 80 lb (216 GSM) kraft cardstock from French Paper Co. in Michigan. It’s bound together by saddle stitch and three glossy black staples that support a flat lay to make quick entries easy and efficient. PROUDLY PRINTED & MANUFACTURED IN THE USA - We take great pride in our complete and transparent origin stories. Each of our thin notebooks and journals is bestowed with evidence of our artisan-first processes, like locally printed pages from suppliers in the midwest and precisely rounded corners stamped by a machine noted inside the back cover.
Field Notes celebrates the home of our Midwest HQ with the new Chicago Edition. Separate from our Quarterly Editions, it’s just a little something we whipped up to keep ourselves busy and warm as our temperature drops below zero. This joins our Hometown Series which also includes the Portland Edition.
The cover is our standard French Paper Co. Kraft-Tone 100#C “Standard White Kraft,” featuring Chicago’s sky blue and red flag (ranked by vexillologists as America’s second-best municipal flag!). Inside, you’ll find Chicago-centric Practical Applications, and our standard Domtar Lynx 60#T “Bright White” graph paper.
To paraphrase Nelson Algren, Chicago may not always love you back, but your Chicago Field Notes will always be there for you. There’s no better place to keep track of Italian beef joints, Blackhawks point streaks, neighborhood bars, Mayoral election calendars, and parking dibs.
