We’d be remiss not to mention our runner-up to Field Notes, Public Supply. Each Field Notes book is bound with three staples, though, so they’re definitely sturdy. Where saddle stitched books are bound with staples (the name derives from the books being placed on a saddle-shaped device during stapling), sewn-bound books are sewn through. Our only qualm with these books was the choice to use saddle stitching over the more elegant sewn-bound stitching. The Kraft cover is made from 80-pound French Dur-O-Tone cover paper, and while it’s certainly sturdy, it’s not tear-proof. Made with 60-pound Finch Opaque paper - heavier than copy paper but lighter than stationery stock - each book is sturdy enough to withstand wear and tear, but pliable enough to allow for an elegant writing experience with minimal bleed-through.
Our books are interesting and attractive, but not so precious that they won’t get used.” “The best notebook in the world isn’t doing anyone any good packed away in a desk. “It’s like they say about cameras: ‘The best camera is the one you have with you,’” he told BuzzFeed Reviews. Plus, you can purchase them in ruled, graph, or blank paper (and as a variety pack with all three).įield Notes designer Bryan Bedell says the books are meant to be taken with you. As the back page of every Field Notes notebook elucidates, the notebook has a slew of practical applications, including recording “sober realizations, shady transactions, and loose promises.” And because each book is just 3.5” x 5.5”, they provide a discreet way to take notes in office meetings or about your office crush (you know, whatever applies), and can actually fit in a back pocket. You can also customize your pocket-notebook experience with limited-edition embossed covers or even choose a fully waterproof version made with Yupo Synthetic paper (though people looking for a wide variety of waterproof options may want to check out Rite in the Rain’s collection of spiral- and sewn-bound books).Īt a slim 48 pages, these Field Notes Kraft notebooks can fill up relatively quickly and be used for almost anything. The brand offers nearly half a dozen pocket-size options, but our favorite is the classic Kraft cover. These days, we wouldn’t be surprised if Field Notes sells 200 of its notebooks an hour. Draplin launched his company with a scant 200 handmade notebooks for sale.
