About Field Notes

Field Notes was founded in 2007 by graphic designer Aaron Draplin and publisher Jim Coudal. The idea grew out of nostalgia for the classic memo notebooks that farmers used to use in rural America. With a strong sense of design and craftsmanship, they decided to develop a modern yet traditional-looking notebook. Each product is manufactured in the United States with a focus on sustainability and design. Field Notes' mission is to encourage people to record their ideas, plans and thoughts: on paper, by hand. This makes their motto powerful: ‘I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now.’
