Field Notes
Field Notes is a small but influential American stationery brand founded in 2007 by Aaron Draplin, Jim Coudal, and Stuart Campbell, inspired by vintage agricultural memo books from the mid-20th century. The company gained recognition for its minimalist, durable pocket notebooks, designed to be both functional and aesthetically appealing, blending nostalgia with modern utility. Each Field Notes release often features limited-edition designs, unique paper types, and collaborations that celebrate craftsmanship, typography, and Americana. From humble beginnings in Chicago, the brand has cultivated a devoted following among designers, writers, and outdoor enthusiasts, standing out for its dedication to quality materials, thoughtful design, and a strong narrative that honors the legacy of classic American notebooks.
