Field Notes Pitch Black Note Book Dot-Graph 2-Pack

FROM FIELD NOTES

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 bigger 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. 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.

These new Field Notes Pitch Black Note Books 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 logo discreetly 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 Note Books, along with our usual Specifications and Practical Applications.
