Quarterly Limited-Editions

Counting to Fifty

You never know what will come from a casually made decision. I called my friend and occasional co-conspirator, Aaron Draplin, after he had sent me a handmade pack of kraft-colored “Field Notes,” and suggested that perhaps we should produce a short run of them and offer them for sale online. Within a couple weeks, we were up and running. – Aug. 3rd, 2021

Staple Day 17 - And sometimes your wife will be looking for something to write down a shopping list and find Little Mermaid draft lyrics in the tiny notebook next to the scissors.

Twenty Years of Kraft

The anniversary date of “Field Notes” varies a bit, depending on who you ask. Aaron Draplin first used the name (typeset, of course, in all-caps Futura Bold) on a customized one-off red hardcover notebook in 2002. Our “official line” sets the birth of the company in mid-2007, when Coudal Partners and Aaron first printed a batch of 3-Packs for the “Swap Meat,” followed shortly by the establishment of “Field Notes Brand” as an actual thing. – Jan. 14th, 2025
