Staple Day 16 - The impulse to write things down is a peculiarly compulsive one, inexplicable to those who do not share it, useful only accidentally, only secondarily, in the way that any compulsion tries to justify itself.

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

Field Notes / Field Notes Brand Books

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
