Rooted in the disappearing tradition of agricultural memo books, embellished pocket ledgers, and the modest elegance of a carefully composed grocery list, the Draplin Design Company of Portland, Oregon, partnered with Chicago’s Coudal Partners to create “FIELD NOTES.” Their intention is to deliver “An honest memo book, worth fillin’ up with good information.” Every FIELD NOTES memo book is produced and printed entirely in the United States.
