Field Notes Original Kraft memo

The Field Notes Original Kraft memo book is a timeless 3½″ × 5½″ notebook, crafted for simplicity, utility, and everyday inspiration. Printed and made in the U.S.A., it features a rugged saddle-stitched 48-page design bound by three staples to hold up under real-world use. The cover is made from French Dur-O-Tone 80#C “Packing Brown Wrap” paper with bold black ink, giving it the classic kraft look with intentional minimalism. Inside, you’ll find your choice of graph, ruled or plain paper in bright-white Finch Paper 60#T stock—designed to be functional and pleasant to write on. Corners are precision-rounded to 3/8″ to prevent catching or fraying during transport in a pocket or bag. The notebook comes in a durable form that avoids frills but delivers serious value and longevity. Optionally, you can customize the back cover with your logo, signature or avatar to make it uniquely yours. Originally born as a holiday gift-project by Aaron Draplin, this edition remains at the heart of the Field Notes lineup. Whether you use it for jotting ideas, sketches, lists or quick thoughts, it is a tool designed to solve the simple problem of capturing what matters. With its honest materials, thoughtful sizing and U.S. manufacturing, the Original Kraft memo book is a go-to choice for anyone seeking a reliable, stylish notebook.
