Chicago Edition 3-Pack
Field Notes celebrates the home of our Midwest HQ with the new Chicago Edition. Separate from our Quarterly Editions, it’s just a little something we whipped up to keep ourselves busy and warm as our temperature drops below zero. This joins our Hometown Series which also includes the Portland Edition.
The cover is our standard French Paper Co. Kraft-Tone 100#C “Standard White Kraft,” featuring Chicago’s sky blue and red flag (ranked by vexillologists as America’s second-best municipal flag!). Inside, you’ll find Chicago-centric Practical Applications, and our standard Domtar Lynx 60#T “Bright White” graph paper.
To paraphrase Nelson Algren, Chicago may not always love you back, but your Chicago Field Notes will always be there for you. There’s no better place to keep track of Italian beef joints, Blackhawks point streaks, neighborhood bars, Mayoral election calendars, and parking dibs.
