Is it weird that it took us so long to make a bigger notebook?

We’ve been making Field Notes for ten years now and — with a few exceptions — they’ve always fit in your pocket. Customers often request larger books with the same features as our regular Field Notes, and we’ve only obliged once, with the “Arts and Sciences” limited edition. When those sold out, the requests kept coming, but we sought the right formula to fit a larger “Note Book” into our permanent collection.

A close-up of the Pitch Black Notebook, slightly opened, showing the dot-graph paper style and the ruler on the back cover.

Our popular “Pitch Black” Memo Book eventually gave us the inspiration we needed: we improved the original dot-graph version, added a ruled version, and further expanded the line to include larger “Note Book” versions.

Two Pitch Black Notebooks standing on end, one in dot-graph paper style and the other in ruled paper style.

These new Field Notes Pitch Black Notebooks are available in 2-Packs with your choice of Dot-Graph or Ruled 60# Finch Opaque body paper. They’re bound with glossy black staples and sturdy 118# covers featuring new, Field Notes-exclusive black/kraft duplex paper from French Paper Co. (see film below). Both feature a new Pitch Black logodiscreetly printed on the back.

These 4-3/4" × 7-1/2" books allow more room for textual flim-flam, so we added some possibly-useful information regarding light and darkness to the inside covers of the notebooks, along with our usual Specifications and Practical Applications.

We’re excited to finally offer larger Field Notes in our permanent collection. We’ll always argue that “kraft is the new black,” but why not have both? You’ll find that they match every outfit, and Field Notes have never felt more at home on Main Street, Wall Street, and all the dark alleys in between.

THE FINAL FRONTIER OF PENS

There are fancier pens, there are more expensive pens, but there is no pen more versatile than the Fisher Space Pen™. Fisher’s bullet-shaped pen is less than four inches long when stowed in your flight suit pocket, but when deployed, it’s a full-sized, well-balanced writing instrument featuring Fisher’s famous cartridge: a precision-fitted tungsten carbide ballpoint with thixotropic ink in a sealed and pressurized reservoir

The Space Pen is the perfect match for our indefatigable Expedition Edition notebook. These pens are the real deal; they're precision-made, durable, and capable of writing in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, and at temperatures from −30 to 250°F (−35 to 120°C). They’re made in Boulder City, Nevada, U.S.A., and trusted by demanding users all over (and orbiting above) the planet Earth.

TOUGH ENOUGH

It has been a while since we have implemented a new format for a Quarterly Release, and it has been a really long while since we first considered this one. We hope you’ll agree, it has been worth the wait.

Introducing our completely new Seasonal Release for the Summer of 2020, the “Heavy Duty” Edition. Each pack contains a pair of memo-sized Work Books, durable enough for your toughest assignments.

The covers are made of extra-beefy “Super Duty Chipboard” and have been screen-printed with thick, opaque ink, one in DDC Orange and one in Blue Sky Blue. The “flip” books are bound from the top with sturdy Double-O Wiring, to make it easy to take notes with one hand while holding the book with the other. Each book contains 80 pages, Ruled on the front with a Double Graph Grid on the back, so you’ll have space for making lists and for sketching out plans too.

Each 2-Pack includes a “Stay-Shut” Band of Rubber, sized to keep things extra-solid when your “Heavy Duty” book is packed away. The wire rings are also a good place to stash the subscriber-exclusive “Natural Finish 3-Inch Field Notes Hex Pencil.” We hope these bad-ass little companions can help you stay one step ahead of your to-do list.
